Meet Researcher & Analyst, new reasoning agents in M365 Copilot. They handle deep research (work+web) & complex data analysis, providing expert insights within your workflow.
Both Researcher and Analyst agents provide skilled expertise available immediately within the flow of work. Researcher thinks like a research specialist; Analyst thinks like a data scientist. Organizations can leverage these pre-built agents to augment team capabilities for complex analytical tasks.
Researcher can leverage third-party data via connectors to enhance capabilities, integrating data from Salesforce, ServiceNow, Confluence, and other sources directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot analysis, enabling more comprehensive insights.
Researcher agent analyzes vast amounts of information from emails, meetings, files, chats, and web sources with secure access to work data. It combines OpenAI's deep research model with Microsoft 365 orchestration to deliver insights for go-to-market strategies, product whitespace identification, and comprehensive client reports.
Analyst agent uses chain-of-thought reasoning and Python execution to progress through complex data queries iteratively. Users can view code in real-time and verify work, enabling rapid conversion of spreadsheet data into demand forecasts, customer purchasing visualizations, and revenue projections.
