New Microsoft Copilot agents: Researcher and Analyst

In brief

Microsoft has introduced two new Copilot agents, Researcher and Analyst, which perform powerful research and data analysis tasks and are based on state-of-the-art AI technology.

Researcher

An agent that performs complex, multi-step research tasks using both internal data and external sources. It combines OpenAI's deep research model with the advanced orchestration and search capabilities of Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Analyst
