Welcome to Microsoft® Agent

Microsoft has decided to discontinue development of Microsoft Agent technologies. Beginning with Windows® 7, Microsoft Agent will not be included or supported in future versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. We encourage Microsoft Agent application developers and redistributors to evaluate their activities in light of this decision.

• Developers can still use the following resources for previous versions of Windows:
• Microsoft Agent Core Components
• Merlin Character File
• Peedy Character File
• Genie Character File
• Robby Character File
• Microsoft will not offer new licenses or renewals
• Microsoft will not update the Microsoft Agent components, including:
• The “msagent.exe” runtime and libraries
• The characters Merlin, Genie, Peedy, and Robbo
• The Agent Character Editor
• All related Microsoft Agent software, tools, and documentation
• Windows 7 and later versions will not support development of Microsoft Agent applications or characters
• Microsoft resources will not be available to assist customers in the investigation or resolution of issues for new or existing deployments.
• Comments about Microsoft Agent and related technologies can be posted on the public newsgroup microsoft.public.msagent.
