Windows Live Messenger Agents are an interactive, fun way for people to instant message directly with your brand in Windows Live Messenger. Consumers can add your Agent as a Messenger contact, just like they would a friend or colleague. Then, they interact with the Agent as they would with any other contact: having conversations, asking questions, and engaging in games or productivity tasks.

- Bring your brand personality to life.
- Entertain and engage consumers while you promote your product and brand features.
- Learn more about customer preferences and new ideas.
- Let people converse with your brand 24/7.
- Ally with cool new technology that can be viral among Messenger users.
- Sponsor an existing Agent, or custom create an Agent designed especially for your brand.
