Prompt-level vs. agent-level

Chat Intelligence Report vs. Agent Intelligence Report

Both run on Purview audit data. Both ship as Power BI templates in the CopilotChatAnalytics repo. Chat Intelligence shows you what humans are doing with Copilot. Agent Intelligence shows you what your declarative and custom agents are doing. Most enterprises run both.

TL;DR

Run Chat Intelligence when the question is about user prompt patterns, depth, surface usage, and adoption-by-prompt-behaviour. Run Agent Intelligence when the question is about what agents are getting invoked, by whom, in which departments, and with what outcomes. They share PAX as the upstream data extractor, so if you've configured one, the second is a fast add.

What Chat Intelligence answers

What Agent Intelligence answers

Why most teams run both

Chat tells you about the human in front of Copilot. Agent tells you about the orchestration layer your team built around them. Together they answer "is our Copilot investment being used by people and by the agents our team built on top of it" — which is the question leadership is actually asking.

Because both pull from PAX, you only pay the setup cost once. After PAX is configured against Purview Audit, both .pbit files can refresh on the same schedule.

Run Chat Intelligence if…

  • The question is about people, not agents
  • You need prompt-level visibility
  • You want surface-level depth analytics
  • You're building a Copilot maturity model

Run Agent Intelligence if…

  • Your team has shipped declarative or custom agents
  • You need to defend (or sunset) agent investments
  • Leadership wants per-author / per-department breakdowns
  • You're evaluating Copilot Studio agent ROI

Both report on the same PAX export.

Configure PAX once, run both .pbit templates against the same dataset.
