Gloat announced a Microsoft 365 Copilot agent available to joint Gloat and Microsoft customers within Microsoft Teams. This announcement builds on Gloat's release of its Teams app last year, and represents a new milestone in the collaboration designed to bring seamless, skills-based upskilling and career development experiences into the Microsoft products employees use for work every day. The Gloat Copilot agent is an upskilling and career companion agent embedded right into Microsoft Teams. It interprets natural language queries about upskilling and career development and invokes relevant APIs from Gloat's Agile Workforce Operating System to deliver personalized learning content, mentorship matches, project opportunities, and job recommendations. Gloat's Copilot agent leverages the infrastructure and product experiences to turn skill insights into actions--connecting skill data to meaningful opportunities, workflows, and business outcomes.

With the Gloat Copilot app for Microsoft Teams, employees can explore opportunities to grow their careers in the moments that matter-- without leaving their daily workflow. For example, they can: Design a personalized 70-20-10 learning journey, combining courses, mentorship, and on-the-job experiences to build in-demand skills. Find a coach or mentor to help navigate a career transition, upskill for a new role, or expand their internal network.

Identify relevant projects that align with their goals and bandwidth, enabling real-time, experiential skill development. Map out career paths tailored to their strengths, aspirations, and organizational needs--then take action to close the gaps. Get recommendations for learning content, roles, or connections to prepare for their next step.
