M365 Copilot Work IQ APIs are now GA

Microsoft announced that the M365 Copilot Work IQ APIs will become generally available in June 2026. These APIs make it possible for agents built on any platform to access Work IQ and integrate it into their own solutions.

What are the APIs?

  1. They improve result quality by going beyond simple prompt-and-response interactions.  Work IQ uses the semantic index with ultra-low latency, personal memory, organizational skills, structured schema, and business-specific knowledge tuning.
  2. They are optimized for agent speed, reducing the number of required round trips.
  3. They are efficient APIs that reduce the number of tokens needed to retrieve context.
  4. They are designed to support agent-scale usage, including continuous, high-frequency, multi-step operations that require high throughput.
  5. They operate within Microsoft 365’s security and governance model, helping developers ensure returned data respects customer controls and policies.

The Result?

As a result, developers can safely bring Microsoft 365 data and context into their agents. This goes beyond a basic connector: it is an intelligent, optimized, and secure AI-scale solution that extends the value of M365 Copilot Work IQ to line-of-business agents, regardless of the platform they are built on.

Pricing

To use the Work IQ APIs:

  • Customers must have M365 Copilot Credits, which can be purchased in bundles or consumed on a usage basis. They can also use cost management dashboards and policies to monitor and manage credit usage.
  • Users also need an active M365 Copilot license, which must be maintained to access Work IQ.
