Add Research Agent to another agent
Hello community, I’d like to create a CoPilot agent that automatically generates an extended research report for new projects, based on the core project details (such as product, market, region, etc...
As of now, Copilot Studio only allows you to connect agents that you’ve created yourself either as child agents or linked agents within the same environment. The Researcher agent (Microsoft-built) pre-installed agent is not exposed as a connectable endpoint for custom agents. You cannot publish your agent as a wrapper around Researcher agent unless Microsoft exposes it as a callable service or plugin.
Workaround:
- Use Copilot Studio to Build Own Deep Reasoning Agent
- Wrap your agent using the Agents SDK and deploy it to Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
- Choose between OpenAI and Anthropic models (Claude Opus 4.1, Sonnet 4) for the custom agents
