New reasoning agents: Researcher and Analyst in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Analyze data and research with expertise on demand, and automate
workflows with intelligent agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Analyst thinks like a data scientist and Researcher like an
expert, so you can uncover insights, validate logic, and generate
expert-level reports in minutes.


And using Microsoft Copilot Studio, build your own autonomous AI
agents to streamline multi-step processes with deep reasoning,
like responding to RFPs or synthesizing internal knowledge,
incorporating Copilot Flows as automated actions. No need for
perfect prompts—just describe what you need, and Copilot will
reason through the task, surface key insights, and deliver
actionable results faster than ever. 


Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, walks you through how to
use these AI-driven agents step-by-step, from data analysis to
research and automation.
