People open Microsoft Copilot to get work done, and starting today the official Bigdata.com connector is available there, so company, market and macro data comes straight into the conversation, with the source attached.

It is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and works in two places: Copilot Chat and Copilot Cowork. Setup takes a few clicks, and it sits alongside the option you already had: building custom agents with Bigdata.com with Copilot Studio.

What we bring to Copilot users

Any assistant can talk about a business but whether it gets the figures right depends on where those figures come from. Without a dependable financial source, you could get last year's numbers mixed with whatever is on the open web.

On the other hand, when you connect Bigdata.com to Copilot, you work with the same data institutional teams use every day:

Over 1 billion financial documents: news, filings, earnings call transcripts and research
Real-time feeds that pick up market-moving events as they break
More than 20 years of history, so you can put today in context or backtest an idea
Structured company, market and macro data sitting right next to the text
A source on every answer, so you always know where a number came from

Three ways to use Bigdata.com with Microsoft Copilot

Where	Best for	Setup
Copilot Chat	Quick answers backed by verified data, in the Copilot you already use	Connect from Settings, Sources
Copilot Cowork	Deeper work, with a visible tool breakdown, sources and Skills	Install from Customize
Copilot Studio	Custom agents built around your own workflows	Add Bigdata.com as an MCP tool in your agent

What you can ask for

Capability	What you get
Search	News, filings, transcripts, podcasts, interviews and research in one query
Tearsheets	Financials and analyst coverage for a company, holdings and risk for an ETF, consolidated data across a portfolio
Market and country views	A cross-asset market snapshot (energy, equities, FX, ETFs) and country economic snapshots
Sentiment	Real-time media sentiment for public companies
Events calendar	Corporate events and macroeconomic release dates
Watchlists	Create, view, edit and delete watchlists of up to 100 companies
Entity and security lookup	Find companies, people, places and products; resolve ISIN, CUSIP and SEDOL identifiers
Your private content	List connectors, tags and documents, fetch full text, and upload your own documents for indexing

Option 1: Copilot Chat

If you want Bigdata.com inside the standard Copilot experience, this is the quickest route. Once connected, Copilot uses Bigdata.com whenever your question calls for financial data.

Go to copilot.cloud.microsoft
Open Settings and more, then go to Settings and Sources
Search for Bigdata.com and click Connect
Sign in to your Bigdata.com account to authorize access

Option 2: Copilot Cowork

Cowork gives you far more visibility into what happens behind an answer, including the breakdown of the tools used and the sources behind each figure, and it gets the best out of the Bigdata.com Skills on top of the data.

Go to copilot.cloud.microsoft/cowork
Open Customize and search for Bigdata
Press Install
Sign in to your Bigdata.com account to authorize access

Option 3: Custom agents in Copilot Studio

If you need a custom agent built around your own process, Bigdata.com is already supported in Copilot Studio. Nothing changes there, and you can now use it next to the two options above as well.

See it in action

Once the connector is on, ask the way you would ask a colleague:

Give me the latest news on NVIDIA, the current market sentiment, and bull, base, and bear price scenarios for the next 6 months

Experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat:

Experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork:

In both cases, Copilot passes the request to Bigdata.com, works out which company you mean and comes back with a profile built on current data, not on whatever made it into its training set.

If you are an analyst, a portfolio manager or on a data team, and Copilot is already open on your screen most of the day, this one is for you. You can stop switching tools every time you need to check a number. And when someone asks where a figure came from, you will have the source right there.
