Six agents your team will actually use
These are real agent scenarios running at financial institutions today. Each one follows Microsoft's scenario library and operates under ABT's governance controls.
Loan Assessment Agent
Extracts borrower documents, analyzes financial ratios, assesses credit ratings, and drafts credit memos. Turns days of manual analysis into structured output your officers review.
How it works: Built on Microsoft's documented lending scenario for Copilot Studio. The agent extracts data from borrower-submitted documents, calculates financial ratios (debt-to-income, LTV), assesses credit ratings against your lending criteria, and drafts a structured credit memo. Your loan officer reviews the output and makes the final decision.
Data sources: Borrower documents (uploaded to SharePoint), credit bureau data, your institution's lending policies, Dataverse for structured loan records.
Who uses this: Mortgage companies and credit unions processing commercial or residential loans. Reduces credit memo preparation from hours to minutes while keeping the human officer in control of every lending decision.
Governed: DLP enforces NPI boundaries. Human officer approves every lending decision.Based on Microsoft Scenario Library: Modernize lending processes Talk to a specialist about this agent
Regulatory Research Agent
Accelerates audit preparation by researching regulatory requirements, generating compliance checklists, and drafting policy templates. Your compliance team reviews instead of building from scratch.
How it works: Based on Microsoft's documented audit preparation scenario. The agent uses Copilot to research current regulatory requirements (BSA/AML, FFIEC, NCUA), generate compliance checklists tailored to your institution's size and charter, draft policy templates that align with examiner expectations, and simulate audit Q&A so your team can prepare responses in advance.
Data sources: Regulatory guidance documents, your institution's existing policies in SharePoint, previous exam findings, industry best practice frameworks.
Who uses this: Community banks, credit unions, and mortgage companies preparing for regulatory examinations. Especially valuable for institutions where compliance staff also handle other responsibilities.
Governed: Read-only access to compliance docs. Human officer reviews all generated output.Based on Microsoft Scenario Library: Accelerate research and audit preparation Talk to a specialist about this agent
Member Service Agent
Answers account questions from your knowledge base, escalates complex issues to human staff, and never shares member data outside governed boundaries.
How it works: Built on your internal knowledge base in SharePoint. Members or staff ask questions in natural language. The agent retrieves answers from your documented procedures, product guides, and FAQs. When it cannot answer confidently, it escalates to a human representative with full conversation context attached.
Data sources: SharePoint knowledge base, product documentation, rate sheets, branch hours and services, internal procedure manuals.
Who uses this: Credit unions and banks with member-facing digital channels. Mortgage servicers use a version of this for borrower inquiries about payment status, escrow, and payoff quotes.
Governed: Sensitivity labels prevent NPI exposure. Agent cannot access account balances or SSNs.Talk to a specialist about this agent
Exam Prep Assistant
Uses Copilot to pull control documentation from SharePoint, map it to NIST CSF 2.0 controls, identify gaps, and draft a pre-exam evidence package. Your compliance team reviews and fills gaps.
How it works: This use case combines Copilot Chat with a custom Copilot Studio agent. Copilot Chat searches your SharePoint compliance libraries and summarizes existing control documentation. A Studio agent then maps what you have against your framework (NIST CSF 2.0, FFIEC CAT), flags gaps where documentation is missing or outdated, and generates a checklist of items to address before your exam.
Data sources: SharePoint compliance libraries, previous exam workpapers, policy documents, incident response logs, vendor risk assessments.
Who uses this: Credit unions preparing for NCUA exams, community banks facing OCC or state examiner reviews, and mortgage companies with state licensing audits. Especially valuable for institutions where one compliance officer handles multiple functions.
Governed: Read-only access to compliance docs. Cannot modify or delete evidence. Full audit trail.Talk to a specialist about this agent
Policy Q&A Agent
Trained on your internal policies, procedures, and handbooks. Staff ask questions in natural language and get answers from your actual documents.
How it works: The agent indexes your policy manuals, employee handbooks, compliance procedures, and operational guides stored in SharePoint. When a branch manager asks "What is our process for handling a wire transfer over $10,000?", the agent returns the exact procedure with citations back to the source document and section number.
Data sources: SharePoint policy libraries, employee handbooks, compliance manuals, operational procedures, board-approved policies.
Who uses this: Every financial institution with documented procedures. Most valuable for institutions with 50+ employees across multiple branches where consistent policy application matters. Mortgage companies use it for processing guidelines and investor overlays.
Governed: Agent can only read approved, published documents. Draft policies are excluded.Talk to a specialist about this agent
KYC Verification Agent
Assists compliance officers in verifying customer identity documents, screening against sanction lists, and flagging cases that need human review. Reduces onboarding friction without reducing diligence.
How it works: Based on Microsoft's documented KYC scenario for Copilot Studio. During account opening, the agent collects customer information, generates reports on missing documentation, screens applicants against global sanction and watchlists (OFAC/SDN) and PEP databases, and drafts follow-up communications. Flagged cases route to a compliance officer with a summary for human review and decision.
Data sources: Account opening applications, customer-submitted documents, OFAC/SDN sanction lists, PEP databases, your institution's CIP requirements.
Who uses this: Banks and credit unions opening new accounts, and mortgage companies verifying borrower identity during the application process. The agent assists staff rather than replacing them. Every decision goes through a human officer.
Governed: Human approval required for all flagged cases. Agent assists verification, never makes autonomous decisions.Based on Microsoft Scenario Library: Implement KYC regulations Talk to a specialist about this agent
Copilot Studio for custom builds. CoWork for multi-model AI.
Copilot Studio
Microsoft's low-code agent builder for the M365 ecosystem. Your team designs agents visually, connects them to SharePoint, Dataverse, and line-of-business applications, and deploys them inside Teams or web portals. No developer required for most agent types.
Agent Evaluation (now GA) lets you test agent behavior with sample conversations before deploying to production. Think of it as QA for AI. You define test scenarios, the agent responds, and you review accuracy before anyone at your institution touches it.
Build conversation flows, connect data sources, set triggers
SharePoint, Dataverse, Teams, Outlook, Power Automate
Every agent action runs under the calling user's identity
Test conversations and accuracy before production deploy
Licensing: Included with Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on ($30/user/mo) or Copilot Business bundle ($32/user/mo for under 300 seats).
Copilot CoWork
Multi-model AI for complex workflows. CoWork brings Anthropic Claude alongside Microsoft Copilot and routes queries to whichever model performs best for a given task. When Claude is better at writing analysis and Copilot is better at pulling calendar data, CoWork uses both in the same workflow.
Launched March 30, 2026 through Microsoft's Frontier early-access program. CoWork handles multi-step enterprise tasks like preparing for meetings (gathering notes, building slides, sending invites) or managing project budgets across departments.
Routes to Claude, Copilot, or specialized models per task
Meeting prep, budget tracking, project management
Native integration across the M365 suite
Agent proposes, human approves. Full audit trail.
Licensing: Included at no extra cost with Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Requires Frontier program opt-in via admin center. Anthropic models must be enabled as a subprocessor. GA timeline estimated 3-6 months post-preview.
See Agent Deployment Options for Your Institution
ABT has deployed AI agents across 750+ financial institutions using Copilot Studio and CoWork. Every deployment starts with a governance assessment and ends with continuous monitoring.
29% of Copilot agents run without IT approval. ABT fixes that.
Agent 365 delivers five governance controls that apply to every agent deployed through Copilot Studio or CoWork. Identity, lifecycle, data boundaries, audit trails, and human approval workflows. See the full framework.
Agent Identity (Entra Agent ID)
Every agent gets its own Entra ID identity with scoped permissions. No shared service accounts. No privilege creep. Every action traceable to a specific agent.
Data Boundary Enforcement
DLP policies and sensitivity labels apply to agent interactions. An agent processing loan data cannot access HR records. Purview classification governs what data flows where.
Human-in-the-Loop Approval
High-risk agent actions require human sign-off. A compliance agent can flag a transaction, but a human officer approves the SAR filing. Configurable per agent per action type.
Lifecycle Management
Agents have defined creation, testing, deployment, and retirement phases. No orphaned agents running unsupervised. Automatic decommissioning when business need expires.
Audit Trail and Compliance
Every agent action logged. Every data access recorded. Every decision traceable. FFIEC examiners can review exactly what each agent did, when, and why.
Agent 365 GA: May 1, 2026
The governance platform that ties it all together. Five controls, one dashboard, complete visibility. Included with Microsoft E7 ($99/user) or standalone at $15/user. See the Five Controls framework.
