This video introduces multimodal intelligence in Researcher for Microsoft 365 Copilot through two new capabilities: Critique and Council. Critique is now built into every Researcher prompt by default—one AI model conducts the research while a second reviews the work, challenges conclusions, identifies gaps, and pushes for a stronger answer. On the DRACO benchmark, Researcher with Critique scored seven points—nearly 14%—higher than the next-best competitor tested. Council expands the idea by running one prompt across multiple leading AI models, presenting their complete reports side by side, and making it easy to see where they agree, where they differ, and where further investigation might be wise. No tool-hopping. No prompt reruns. Just several highly opinionated models politely comparing notes.
We filmed Gaurav Anand, CVP of Microsoft 365 Copilot, delivering the demo on location in London—because some stories deserve more than a screen recording and a strongly worded cup of coffee. Honeycutt Inc. sent our producer/director to lead the shoot and partnered with a top-notch local film crew to capture a polished executive presentation with the right lighting, sound, camera coverage, and distinctly London-shaped logistics. In post, we blended Gaurav’s on-camera delivery with purposeful product visuals, benchmark results, and brisk transitions that move naturally from capability to proof to payoff. The result is an executive-led product story with global production value—and none of the seams showing.
The inevitable sequels
Hollywood keeps stretching good ideas into progressively worse sequels. We don’t. These are the related videos—spiritual siblings of the one you just watched—as good or better than this video. Expect callbacks, new plot twists, and maybe even a scene-stealing cameo from a lower third.
