Microsoft 365 Copilot is introducing 'deep reasoning' agents for advanced problem-solving capabilities.
The new Researcher and Analyst agents can handle complex tasks requiring deep analysis and methodical thinking.
These agents are powered by advanced reasoning models like OpenAI's o1, enabling them to manage business processes like humans.
Researcher automates multistep research tasks, generating detailed reports on various business topics.
Researcher can create go-to-market strategies, identify trends, and produce quarterly client reports.
Researcher can access external data sources through third-party connectors for comprehensive research.
The Analyst agent functions as a skilled data scientist, transforming raw data into actionable insights using reasoning models.
Microsoft plans to release these agents to subscribers in April through the Frontier program for early access.
Microsoft Copilot Studio will introduce deep reasoning and agent flows for designing AI agents with advanced reasoning models.
The integration of deep reasoning enables AI agents to think carefully, analyze data, and provide thoughtful responses across various business processes.
