Microsoft has launched two new AI “Reasoning” assistants, researchers and analysts as part of Microsoft 365 Copilot Suite. Since June 2025, these devices are available to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users, which help you to do smart work by offering expert-level research and data analysis.
Meet Copilot researcher and analyst AI agents
Microsoft 365 Copilot is more than just a chatbot. Researchers and analysts bring advanced arguments on your fingers. All you have to do is to craft the right prompt.
Researcher The deep research of Openai uses the language model, which is combined with the technique of Microsoft to help in complex research. This can quickly gather, summarize and organize information. This means that you do not have to spend hours in search and reading through documents.
For example, researchers can gain insight from third-party sources such as salesforce, servicenow, confluence, etc. Companies can integrate this data and create a complete picture of their domains and pinpoint trends and opportunities.
Analyst Works on data. It works inside the microsoft suit to convert raw numbers into useful insight. Using the python scripting and step-by-step argument, the analyst helps you to spot, calculate, calculate and create a summary or chart. This can save you time and reduce errors while dealing with complex spreadsheets. For example, you can take raw data and turn it into demand for demand for a new product.
Microsoft’s blog There are more examples of researchers and analysts in action.
Researchers and analysts deal with huge installments of information pigbacking on O3-Mini logic model of Openai. Both devices are no longer limited to early examiners.
If you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, you can now start using researchers and analysts. You can easily find both these new features in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app as a pin and through Copilot Chat. Users can create 25 joint questions every month.
As Microsoft announcedThe researcher supports 37 languages, and analyzer is available in 8, but they will soon add more languages.
However, new AI agents of Microsoft are not independent. You need it Microsoft 365 Copilot MembershipWhich will set you back $ 30 per month.
Agent AI as tomorrow’s assistants
How do you work with Microsoft 365 apps by adding these AI logic agents. Instead of relying on manual research or spending hours on a spreadsheet, you help you who think with you. This reduces the time to spend on the tasks you have to repeat and allow you to focus on making decisions and values.
These devices may be invaluable for the data handling professionals or for research. They bring specialist help at your fingers without the need for special training in AI, coding, or even mathematics and statistical skills.
Opening these features for all (payment) users, shows Microsoft to take powerful AI equipment beyond the enterprise. This is about making the task easy and more effective, no matter whether your role or industry.
From my experience, AI that understands the context and can argue through multi-step problems, is a step beyond simple automation. While AI feels that a knowledgeable for the work of grunt is like pinging the intern, Agentic AI feels like calling a specialist that you are ready to jump when needed.
As AI becomes another nature for us, researchers and analysts Microsoft 365 give users a smart way to give better arguments and to save enterprises time and resources. But there is also a possibility that the agent AI may replace many workers whose efficiency it promises to improve.
