Employee-built AI agents for quality reviews
AGCO shortened some quality reviews from weeks to about an hour with AI agents, Microsoft reported
Problem
AGCO's quality and warranty reviews depended on scarce experts and coordination across teams. Reviewing issues and agreeing on next steps could take weeks or months.
Approach
AGCO gave employees Microsoft Copilot Studio and training to build agents around workplace problems. Internal AI leaders and Microsoft specialists supported development and governance. AGCO used agents to interpret and validate quality issues and move them through reviews.
Results
Takeaway
Employee development operated alongside expert support and enterprise governance. The reported time saving applied to some quality reviews, with no company-wide average disclosed.
