Microsoft 365 Copilot now available to Viva Insights analysts

We’re excited to announce the availability of Microsoft 365 Copilot within the Analyst Workbench in Viva Insights.  

Copilot can help analysts choose a Power BI report or simplify the query creation process by suggesting metrics, filters, and attributes relevant to their analysis. 

With this new functionality, analysts don’t need to search through a wide array of templates, metrics, attributes, and filters to pick the ones relevant to their analyses. With Copilot, they can now just type the query in their own words, and Copilot will do the rest. 

Copilot also flattens the learning curve for new analysts. It does all the heavy lifting so the least experienced analysts can generate impactful reports as quickly and easily as seasoned analysts. 

For example, an analyst might want to understand more about how employees use Copilot in their organization. They can ask Copilot, “How does Copilot usage compare across organizations?” Copilot, in response, suggests using the Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption report or a custom person query. Analysts can change the scope of their query at any point during the process. They can also use Copilot to add or modify metrics, filters, and attributes for the query.

In addition, Copilot can help analysts set up the parameters of their custom person query as they’re building it. For example, analysts can ask Copilot, “How are U.S. employees building social capital in a hybrid work environment?” and Copilot will suggest the best metrics to use, such as internal network size and influence score. Copilot can also suggest filters such as “Area = US.”  

These features are currently available worldwide. Whether it’s exploring Copilot adoption trends, analyzing hybrid work patterns, or diving into collaboration patterns, Copilot streamlines analyst queries and enhances precision every step of the way.  Please refer to our product documentation to learn more.
