Short Version
Surveys is a new Copilot agent in Microsoft 365 that will help you easily build, run, and analyse surveys through chat. Surveys are powered by MS Forms and adhere to existing admin policies for the Forms service. Now due mid-October to late November 2025.

Details
If you are a Microsoft Forms user and, within Forms, you use Copilot, then some of this will feel familiar – instead of being in Forms and pulling in Copilot help, you will start in Copilot and push your form into Forms.


The Survey Agent will help you to:

  • Draft surveys 
  • Refine questions – view refinements instantly alongside the conversation
  • Launch your survey – Surveys Agent recommends the timeline and distribution channels
  • Send invitations and reminders – it helps in preparing and sending invitations to your selected audience
  • Track progress and analyse results – come back to the conversation to check the survey’s status or analyse the responses

Microsoft Forms powers the resulting surveys and adheres to existing admin policies for the Forms service.

You will need to install the agent from the Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Store under the “Built by Microsoft” section.


Availability
Due early to mid-September 2025.
Now due mid-October to late November 2025.
