AI completes it successfully 89.7% When Copilot attempts this activity, how often it finishes the task
Scope AI handles 31.3% How much of the activity AI carries within a conversation
Positive user feedback 73.9% Share of interactions users rated positively
How often AI is applied here 64th pct Percentile across all measured activities by how often AI performs them
