Select models when using Researcher in Copilot Chat
[Windows, Web]
You can now choose supported Researcher models and modes directly within Chat when adding the Researcher agent to your conversation.

What changed:
Copilot Chat now includes an option to pick from available Researcher models and modes when you add the Researcher agent to your prompt. Previously, users had no direct control over which Researcher model was used during chat interactions, limiting customization. This update enables tailored research experiences based on the selected model.
Why:
Allowing users to select Researcher models provides more control over the research process and improves result relevance by matching the model to the task.
Try this:
Start a new Chat and add the Researcher agent to your prompt.
Select the desired Researcher model from the model selector menu.
Continue the conversation using the chosen model for tailored research results.
Why this matters:
Choosing the appropriate Researcher model helps users get more accurate and relevant information during research tasks.
Business impact:
Teams can customize research workflows to better fit specific project needs, improving efficiency and output quality.
Personal impact:
You gain flexibility to tailor research assistance, saving time by getting more relevant answers faster.
