Sales Development agent (Dynamics 365 Sales, preview)
A preview Microsoft agent that automates prospect outreach from within Teams.
AI SDR · native feature · Setup: Moderate (our estimate) · Last verified 2026-10-14
Our take
The Sales Development agent automates sales outreach and prospect management within Microsoft Teams. It is a preview available through the Microsoft 365 Targeted release program, and Microsoft notes it may route requests to third-party model providers such as Anthropic. In our view it is one to pilot, not to run production outreach on yet.
