• Copilot in Excel

  Active · verified 2026-09-02

  Copilot in Excel works with workbook content through natural-language instructions. Microsoft documents three modes: edit mode, which changes the workbook directly; plan mode, which produces a plan the user reviews and confirms before editing; and chat mode, which answers without changing the workbook.

• Researcher

  Active · verified 2026-09-18

  A Microsoft-documented first-party reasoning agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot (Microsoft Copilot) that performs complex, multi-step research. The user submits a prompt; Researcher may ask clarifying questions, plans and iteratively researches across the user's work content (files, emails, meetings and chats the user has access to) via Microsoft Graph, Microsoft 365 Copilot/Graph connectors, and — when tenant web search is enabled — the Bing index, then synthesises a structured, source-cited report inside the Copilot experience. Microsoft documents the output as a report the user can then edit, share or carry into Pages/documents; persistence beyond the Copilot conversation is described as a subsequent user action. A separately admin-gated extension, Researcher with Computer Use, adds sandboxed virtual-machine web interaction and is recorded here only as a boundary, not as base Researcher authority.
