    Just some general feedback on initial testing after going GA. It still has some limitations and bugs.

    • Reordering questions isn't supported.
    • Multilingual isn't supported.
    • Branching isn't supported. (see further details below on this)
    • I asked the agent to put one of my existing questions into its own Section, which is did, but it also duplicated the question so had to go in and delete one of them.
    • In addition to the previous point, when I run the form in preview mode, the Section doesn't show, and I don't get a Next button - just Submit. This seems to be because some of my questions weren't within a section. If I add all questions into sections, then it works. Also, if I open the form in full Microsoft Forms, it automatically adds the questions that weren't in a section into their own section and works as expected. So, this seems to be more of an Agent preview issue - not managing questions outside a section and some in sections.
    • I asked it to add a question that will only show if a specific option is selected, and it said it did it. However, the question shows regardless of what option is selected - it always shows. One time it said it did it but wasn't done. Another time it said conditional logic isn't supported. If it says it's not supported that's fine - but when it says it's done it but hasn't - that's an issue. Basically, branching isn't supported via the agent but doesn't always tell you it isn't supported.
    • There is a hard limit on the number of prompts in a single chat. You have to start a new chat after 30 prompts. Why Microsoft :(
      • "Sorry, this conversation has reached its limit. Let's start a new chat."

     

    Overall though it's looking promising. I'll continue to add any addition limitations, issues, etc. here as we test further.

    It's great to see this move to GA. However, I just tried to ground it on a Word document and got the following response, so looks like it can't be grounded on content at this stage - or am I missing something.

    This is based on what you provide above:

    • Grounding to your content: You can now connect Surveys Agent to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, as well as existing Microsoft Forms survey links, to help draft and refine surveys with richer context. 

    Thanks for confirming! At the moment, I can't create a form directly from a file reference. Please copy and paste the specific questions or content you'd like included in the form directly into your message.

    Once I have that, I’ll be able to build the form for you right away.
