What’s new for Copilot – May 2025

May was an incredible month for Copilot enthusiasts, with almost 100 updates once again! Microsoft clearly isn’t slowing down with their pace of innovation, and the developments happening in the Copilot ecosystem continue to impress.

This month, I’m excited to spotlight two brand new agents that have just reached General Availability – and these are real game-changers for how we’ll approach complex work tasks!

First up is Researcher, which combines OpenAI’s deep research model with Copilot’s orchestration and search capabilities. This agent can tackle complex, multi-step research projects by simultaneously reasoning over both your work data and web information, including third-party sources through connectors. Think of it as having a research assistant that can pull from everywhere at once.

Then there’s Analyst, powered by OpenAI’s o3-mini reasoning model and built specifically for data analysis work. What makes this agent stand out is its chain-of-thought reasoning approach – it works through problems step by step, taking as many iterations as needed to refine its analysis. Plus, it can run Python code for complex data queries, and you can actually watch it work in real-time! It’s like having a data scientist collaborate with you directly.

What’s new for Copilot – February 2025

This month, Microsoft created quite a buzz by renaming Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 Copilot, adding a new layer of complexity for users already struggling to differentiate between the various Copilots. Thankfully, there was a small change in the logo, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot can now be distinguished by the black tag in the logo.

Despite the confusion, Copilot continued to receive numerous updates across the board, improving its integration in multiple applications. One of the highlights this month is the introduction of Rich artifacts in Copilot Pages, powered by Microsoft Loop. You can now create rich artifacts, including interactive charts, tables, complex diagrams, and code generated with Copilot from enterprise or web data. These artifacts can be added to Pages for further editing and refinement with Copilot. They are interactive and stay in sync across Microsoft 365 when shared for collaborative work.

Another notable improvement is that chat sessions will now have titles generated by large language models (LLM). This feature, which requires a Microsoft 365 license, will enhance organization and discoverability. Users can still rename or delete sessions as needed.

There’s a lot more to catch up on within the Copilot suite of products from Microsoft. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements that will continue to improve your experience with Microsoft 365 Copilot.
