Updated June 18, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

[Introduction]

Microsoft is introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat within Microsoft Forms, along with a new Forms Agent integration tailored to help creators design, distribute, and analyze forms more effectively. This update streamlines form creation and insights by providing AI-driven suggestions, improvements, and analysis.

The Copilot refinement bar and Copilot insights summary on the Forms results page will be replaced by the new Copilot dynamic action button.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 553136.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We'll begin rollout mid-May 2026 (previously early May) and expect to complete by end of June 2026 (previously mid-June).

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected: Users with an active Microsoft 365 Copilot license who create or edit forms in Microsoft Forms on the web.

What will happen:

Users will find a new Copilot icon in Microsoft Forms.
Forms Agent and Copilot Chat will be available directly in the form-editing experience.
Users can perform tasks such as:
- Getting AI‑generated suggestions to refine or improve their form or quiz.
- Adjusting question clarity and form structure with support from Forms Agent.
- Drafting invitation messages.
- Analyzing survey or quiz results with AI assistance.
This feature will be on by default for Copilot licensed users and can be disabled by admins.
Existing Copilot policies apply; no new admin controls are required.

[What you can do to prepare:]

No action is required.

Be aware that to enable this experience, Forms agent will shift to "preacquired" in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center as a first-party experience. This ensures that Copilot-licensed end users who access Forms can use the Copilot Chat experience without having to install the Forms agent separately in the Agent Store

Recommended:

Inform helpdesk staff about new AI capabilities.
Update internal documentation as needed.
Review Copilot licensing and policy settings.
