Microsoft is enhancing its Microsoft 365 Copilot with AI-powered "deep reasoning" capabilities, introducing specialized agents like 'Researcher' and 'Analyst'. These agents are designed to tackle complex problems with the same level of skill and nuance as seasoned professionals. The Researcher agent automates complex research tasks, delivering detailed reports by combining OpenAI's reasoning skills with Copilot's search capabilities. The Analyst agent acts as a skilled data scientist, transforming raw data into actionable insights using the o3-mini reasoning model and Python code execution.
These advancements aim to streamline workflows and provide users with valuable insights without requiring extensive technical expertise. Microsoft is also adding agent flows to Copilot Studio, combining AI flexibility with deterministic business process automation. This allows businesses to create smarter Copilots tailored to their specific workflows, enabling agents to follow a predefined sequence of actions for consistent results in structured tasks. The deep reasoning capabilities extend agents' abilities beyond simple task completion, enabling them to handle complex judgment and analytical work.
