Cypris Integrates R&D Intelligence into Microsoft Copilot

The partnership allows enterprise teams to conduct complex R&D tasks—such as prior art research, technology scouting, and competitive landscape analysis—without leaving their standard Microsoft workflow. By utilizing an agent-to-agent architecture and Model Context Protocol, the system enables Copilot to delegate specific research queries to Cypris, which then synthesizes technical findings and provides attributed, decision-ready reports.

Steve Hafif, CEO and co-founder of Cypris, noted that the real competitive advantage for organizations lies in proprietary data and purpose-built agents rather than generic AI. The integration serves as an intelligence layer that automates multi-step research, allowing technical teams to validate new concepts and monitor competitors while maintaining existing security and governance standards. The service is available to enterprise customers starting today, with plans to expand agent capabilities in the coming months.
