Microsoft is rolling out Researcher and Analyst, two AI-driven tools designed to enhance deep research and data analysis within Microsoft 365 Copilot. Researcher leverages OpenAI’s reasoning models for strategic insights, while Analyst refines complex data queries using Python. Available in April through Microsoft’s Frontier program, these tools integrate web data and workplace intelligence, aiming to redefine AI-assisted research for businesses and professionals.
