Microsoft infuses enterprise agents with deep reasoning, unveils data Analyst agent that outsmarts competitors


Microsoft announced Tuesday two significant additions to its Copilot Studio platform: deep reasoning capabilities that enable agents to tackle complex problems through careful, methodical thinking, and agent flows that combine AI flexibility with deterministic business process automation.

The Analyst can automatically generate Python code to process uploaded data files, produce visualizations, and deliver business insights without requiring technical expertise from users. For example, one large telecommunications company uses deep reasoning agents to generate complex RFP responses by assembling information from across multiple internal documents and knowledge sources, Lamanna told VentureBeat. Microsoft can leverage the same web data and model technology that competitors can, Lamanna noted, “but we then also have all the content inside the enterprise.” This creates a flywheel effect where each new agent interaction further enriches the graph’s understanding of workplace patterns.
