AB-731: AI Transformation Leader

Microsoft 365 Copilot, including its built-in Researcher and Analyst reasoning agents, is sold as a per-user add-on license that is layered on top of an eligible base Microsoft 365 subscription (such as Microsoft 365 E3/E5, Office 365 E3/E5, Business Standard/Premium, and others). Only users assigned this dedicated Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on license can run the Researcher agent, which searches across a user's accessible work content — emails, chats, files, and SharePoint data — plus the web. A plain Microsoft 365 subscription entitlement only unlocks the free, web-grounded Copilot Chat experience, not full agents like Researcher; pay-as-you-go/usage-based billing applies to scenarios such as SharePoint agents and Copilot Chat working with shared tenant data rather than the full per-user Researcher experience; and Azure consumption-based licensing is unrelated to Microsoft 365 Copilot user licensing.
