Interpret the Microsoft 365 Copilot agent report

You can use this report to see the usage of Copilot agents in your organization that were built by your organization and include agents that are approved by an admin and agents created via agent builder and shared with users in your org. Admins can manage agents in the same way as they manage any other app in the Integrated apps section of the Microsoft 365 admin center. Learn more in Manage Copilot agents in Integrated Apps.

At the top, you can filter by different periods. The Microsoft 365 Copilot agent report can be viewed over the last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days:

Active agents shows the distinct number of apps with a declarative agent element in that app with at least one active user over the selected time period. For more information, see Declarative agents FAQ. As defined earlier, only agents that have been created by your org including both admin approved and shared by users in your org are included.

End-users interact with agents in two ways: either by at-mentioning the agent in a chat experience or by selecting the agent from the right-side panel in Copilot Chat or from the hamburger menu on the top left corner in Copilot in Word or PowerPoint. An active user of an agent is a user who sends a prompt request to an agent and receives a response.

In Recommendations, the recommended action card suggests that admins visit the Integrated apps section of the Microsoft 365 admin center to explore and enable additional agents for users in their org.

How does agent usage impact overall Microsoft 365 Copilot usage?

Agent usage is already included in the top-line Microsoft 365 Copilot usage number, as agents can only be used via Copilot Chat and Copilot in Office apps. Usage of these apps is already captured in the all-up Microsoft 365 Copilot usage report, which includes data for all features and functionalities of Copilot.
