Microsoft Copilot Studio - Use code interpreter on SharePoint sources in agent conversations

We are announcing the ability to use code interpreters on SharePoint sources in agent conversations in Microsoft Copilot Studio. This feature will be available in general availability on May 31, 2026.

How does this affect me?
This feature enables Copilot Studio agents to generate and execute Python code to respond to user prompts. Code interpreter supports tasks such as data preparation, statistical analysis, table joins, forecasting, and chart generation. These tasks work with structured files like CSV and Excel. Code interpreter supports the GPT-4.1 model.

Using code interpreter for agents:

• Unlocks trustworthy analysis inside agents and prompts by employing deterministic, reproducible computation instead of best-effort large language model (LLM) reasoning for data questions.
• Lowers the skill barrier for advanced analytics by letting users ask analytical questions in natural language.
• Generates tables and visualizations of results programmatically that users can see, download, and reuse.

An agent in Copilot Studio can ingest a structured data file in two ways:

• As an uploaded file in an agent chat.
• As a referenced knowledge source in a SharePoint documents library.

This feature is tailored for developers, business analysts, and low-code makers. Code generation and execution integrate seamlessly with the Copilot Studio ecosystem to create powerful, AI-driven solutions.
