M365 Copilot Research with Computer Use

A new feature, M365 Copilot Researcher with Computer Use, is being introduced. Computer Use enables secure access to public, gated, and interactive web content via a virtual computer acting on behalf of the user. When utilizing the Researcher Agent for analysis, Computer Use can retrieve premium and authenticated information as necessary, actively navigating and interacting with data sources. The retrieved information is then incorporated to deliver comprehensive insights.

The underlying process involves Copilot orchestrating the creation of a virtual sandbox machine instance. Subsequently, an AI-powered browser is launched to access website data on the user's behalf in a controlled environment.
