Microsoft Copilot news for spring 2025

Spring is coming, everything is waking up, and so is Microsoft 365 Copilot, which for the past few months has begun to seriously set itself apart from the competition, including its free brother (cousin?) Free Copilot. Free Copilot offers a Think Deeper feature that Copilot for Business doesn’t have, and answers questions anyway. But Copilot for companies has access to company data and can provide answers based on that, so the lack of ability to think deeper about the question and answer is sometimes disappointing, especially since you can’t paste the question along with relevant context into the free version, because that context weighs a lot.

Well, but as of May 2025 that won’t be a problem, because… well the easiest way would be to give Copilot for businesses the same capabilities that free has, right? But it’s also possible to make an add-on that will be available in the agent store 🥳 (Agent Store), and that’s the route Microsoft chose.

There will be a Researcher (Researcher) and an Analyst (Analyst) in the agent store, which will extend the capabilities of Copilot for Business, while being available as part of the Copilot for Business package 😅. Third-party agents will also appear, including Jira, Monday.com and Miro, and it will also be possible to add company agents available internally.

The idea of an agent store seems ok with this, only if LLM being the basis of the intellectual capabilities of “bare” Copilot for companies doesn’t change, it won’t want to talk to them anymore 🤐.

This feature is still in the process of implementation, and you need to join The Frontier to enable it. The capabilities for inferring and analyzing corporate data are impressive and will save a lot of work time. Below are videos demonstrating the capabilities of the new agents 😎🍿.

Copilot will also get user memory based on information from chats, from the user’s profile, and the ability to customize operation through individual prompts and other settings. Also, administrators will get the ability to measure usage, set management policies and configure Copilot thoroughly within the organization’s Copilot Control System. These features have been sorely lacking so far, they’re already there 🎉 .

There’s also a new, better Copilot Enterprise Search, allowing you to find everything you need with rich, contextual… goodness, just a new, better search function that includes third-party applications in addition to documents and emails. So far, Copilot for Business’ ability to search and count document or event occurrences has been so legendary 😅 that I can’t wait for the new version. Currently, Copilot for Business is very flexible on the correct answer to a question about the number of occurrences and documents that meet the criteria and often changes its mind, but it can be persuaded what the correct answer is. The new, better Enterprise Search may change that 😨.

And then there’s something a little more controversial – People Skills Agent. Its purpose is to make it easier to find people in the organization who have the skills we are looking for. But also building a taxonomy of those skills based on the use of those skills on the job 👀✅❌

Also now, checking whether an employee during the probationary period has demonstrated the skills he declared as part of the recruitment process will be at the price of his digital companion. To paraphrase an iconic quote – Copilot will help and advise, sometimes it will also reveal something about you 😊.

This feature is so good for business that the European Union will surely ban it 😂

There are more new features of Microsoft Copilot Wave 2, but there are also Microsoft programs for medium and large enterprises to learn about Copilot’s capabilities individually and to plan its adoption in the organization. If your organization already has Copilot licenses for businesses and you want to use its potential in a secure and planned way, contact us.
