AI Agents and Microsoft 365: Don’t Let Convenience Become an Architecture

Desktop AI agents are becoming useful, but using them to “drive” Mail or Microsoft 365 through the user interface is the wrong pattern for enterprise work. For secure Web applications and M365 integration, authenticated APIs, Power Automate, and human-in-the-loop controls remain the safer architectural choices.
