Could Marketplace Become an AI Discovery Agent?
MicrosoftYou asked, we listened! 🎉
Excited to share that intelligent discovery is now live in Microsoft Marketplace as of August 25, 2026.
Finding the right solution shouldn't depend on knowing the perfect keyword. With intelligent discovery, you can simply describe your business needs in natural language and AI will understand your intent, automatically apply relevant filters, and surface the most relevant Marketplace solutions.
✨ With Intelligent Discovery, you can:
- Find the right solutions faster using natural language instead of keyword searches.
- Chat, compare, and evaluate options side by side to make more informed decisions.
- Shortlist and share solutions with your team for collaborative evaluation.
- Benefit from AI throughout the entire Marketplace journey, from search to decision, with no new tools or workflows to learn.
If you've ever been frustrated trying to find the right solution in a crowded marketplace, we'd love to hear your feedback as you try out this new experience.
This is a great feature! kc_msft thanks for the update!
We’d love to better understand how it actually works so we can align our product description accordingly.
For example, I asked it to “find me an app for Teams that could help me schedule meetings.” It returned several options that didn’t seem particularly relevant to the query. Our app was also included in the shortlist, which was great to see, but only following those non relevant apps.
It would be really helpful to understand what factors are used to determine the recommendations, so we can make sure our Marketplace description is optimized appropriately.
