How AI is applied to this activity

AI completes it successfully 72.4% When Copilot attempts this activity, how often it finishes the task
Scope AI handles 19.7% How much of the activity AI carries within a conversation
Positive user feedback 63.8% Share of interactions users rated positively
How often AI is applied here 54th pct Percentile across all measured activities by how often AI performs them
