Microsoft has unveiled two innovative deep reasoning agents for its Microsoft 365 Copilot, named Researcher and Analyst. These agents leverage advanced AI models to facilitate complex, multi-step research and data analysis, integrating with third-party data sources like Salesforce and ServiceNow. The rollout is set to begin in April for early access users, promising to enhance productivity through automation.
The Researcher agent utilizes OpenAI's deep research model, while the Analyst agent employs the o3-mini reasoning model, enabling users to transform raw data into actionable insights. Microsoft claims these tools can automate various tasks, potentially revolutionizing workflows by streamlining processes that previously required manual input. The effectiveness of these new capabilities will be closely monitored as they become available.
