Frontier Copilot AMA

Tune in to our Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) event focused on the Frontier Program in Microsoft 365 Copilot on Thursday, May 1st, from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM PDT. This session will explore early access experiences with Copilot reasoning agents—including Researcher and Analyst—and provide space to ask questions about how these agents support complex research and data analysis tasks at work. 

This is a unique opportunity to connect directly with members of the Microsoft team who are working on the reasoning capabilities in Copilot. The AMA will be most useful for those interested in learning more about the design, functionality, and potential use cases of the Researcher and Analyst agents in a Microsoft 365 environment.

Event Details: 

This live on-air session offers a direct line to the team behind some of the newest reasoning agents in Copilot. Our experts will be available to discuss and answer questions about: 

• Researcher: A tool for multi-step research tasks that draws from internal work content and external data sources to synthesize insights. 
• Analyst: A data-focused agent that uses chain-of-thought reasoning and Python to analyze and interpret complex datasets. 
• Frontier for Copilot program: An early access experience for exploring in-development features within Microsoft 365 Copilot. 
• Early patterns and questions: Common themes and scenarios seen so far across customers exploring reasoning agents. 
• Integration with Copilot Studio: How reasoning agents can align with agent flows and advanced orchestration use cases. 

Please note: This AMA will focus specifically on Researcher and Analyst agents. We won’t be addressing broader Copilot roadmap, licensing, or unrelated availability questions during this session. Please bring those questions into our Microsoft 365 Copilot community.
