In a work environment where information grows exponentially, finding relevant data and drawing precise conclusions can become a challenge. Professionals need to quickly access reliable knowledge, without wasting time navigating through emails, documents, and past meetings, as well as complementing their work with up-to-date information from the web.
To meet this need, Microsoft 365 Copilot has introduced Researcher and Analyst, two pioneering reasoning agents of their kind.
What does Analyst, the new Microsoft 365 Copilot agent, offer?
Analyst is like having an instant data analyst on your team: simply upload a file, and it's ready. Based on OpenAI's o3-mini reasoning model, it transforms raw data into useful information within minutes, with an approach similar to that of a data science expert. It uses chain reasoning to iteratively analyse data and is capable of refining its answers to provide advanced analysis in the workplace.
This agent masters Python, performs complex analyses, and allows real-time visualisation of its code to check its operation. It’s like a motivated intern who instantly becomes an expert in data and programming. Its applications range from turning scattered data into demand forecasts to generating visualisations of buying patterns or revenue projections, optimising data-driven decision-making.
What does Researcher, the new Microsoft 365 Copilot agent, offer?
Researcher makes complex research tasks more precise and of higher quality by combining OpenAI’s deep research model with Microsoft 365 Copilot's advanced orchestration and search capabilities. It no longer just searches the web or your internal content, but now directly connects to internal and external sources through connectors, allowing it to analyse data in greater depth to create detailed strategies, identify market opportunities, or generate comprehensive reports based on up-to-date information. It’s like having your own strategic intelligence unit always active.
Additionally, it integrates third-party data through platforms such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, or Confluence to enrich its analysis and extracts information via other agents like Sales Chat, providing a more complete and strategic view for decision-making.
Researcher and Analyst are already available for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers as part of the "Frontier" programme. This initiative allows early access to the latest Copilot innovations while they are still in development. Implement these agents today and transform the way your organisation researches and analyses data.
Why implement Microsoft 365 Copilot in your business?
Implementing Copilot in organisations not only boosts productivity but also enhances employees' creativity. Its impact spans across multiple areas: the sales department can generate persuasive emails faster, marketing optimises content creation and operations improves the customer experience with faster, more accurate responses.
Moreover, Copilot enhances motivation and engagement within the team, making work more dynamic and efficient. By facilitating decision-making and providing a competitive edge, it becomes a key tool for any business looking to innovate and stay ahead.
