Microsoft is presenting a “deep research” tool with AI in Copilot by Microsoft 365, its AI Chatbot application.
A series of deep research agents through chatbots, including OpenAi Chatgpt, Gemini of Google and Grok of Xai, have been recently launched. The so -called Reasoning AI models, which have the ability to think about problems and verify the facts, the possibly important skills to carry out in -depth research on a topic.
Microsoft’s flavors are called a researcher and analyst.
The researcher combines the deep research model, which feeds the company’s own chatpt research tool, with “advanced orchestration” and “deep search capabilities.” Microsoft states that the researcher can perform analysis, including the development of a market strategy and the creation of a quarterly report for a client.
As for the analyst, it is based on the O3-mini reasoning model of OpenAi and is “optimized to make an advanced data analysis,” Microsoft said. The analyst progresses through iteration problems, taking measures to refine their “thought” and provide a detailed response to consultations. The analyst can also execute the Python programming language to address complex data consultations, Microsoft added and expose their “work” for inspection.
Which makes Microsoft’s deep research tools a bit more unique than competition is access to labor data, as well as the world website. For example, the researcher can take advantage of third -party data connectors to resort to “agents” data, tools and applications such as Confluence, Servicenow and Salesforce.
Agree, the real challenge is to ensure that tools such as the researcher and the analyst do not hallucinate or invent things. The models that include O3-mini and deep research are not perfect; From time to time, work badly, they get incorrect conclusions and extract doubtful public websites to inform their reasoning.
Microsoft is launching a new border program through which Microsoft 365 co -driver customers can get access to researchers and analysts. Those enrolled in Frontier, who will obtain experimental features of co -drivers in the future, will obtain the researcher and the analyst from April.
