CHALLENGES
AI assistants often generate plausible-sounding statistics without source. One wrong number in a client pitch can destroy credibility.
When auditors ask where specific data points come from, citing AI as the sole source will not hold up.
Your analysts spend hours switching between AI assistant, Google, and Statista to verify every data point before using it.
The Solution
Plug 50,000+ trusted sources directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot. Every response includes the link, title, and preview of the referenced statistic—so you can check the source, dig deeper, or use it again later.
Use Cases
Your sales team needs market stats for every pitch, proposal, and RFP response. With Statista Connect, they can pull verified data directly into their slides—without leaving PowerPoint.
Strategy and research teams need trusted numbers for every decision and board update. Now they can ask Copilot a question and pull sourced, ready-to-share insights straight into 365 documents.
Marketing and content teams live on fresh data for every campaign, deck, and asset. With Statista Connect, they can turn any Copilot prompt into on-brand, data-backed slides, briefs, and copy.

The Statista agent is an AI-powered Copilot extension that enables users to search, explore, and analyze Statista's trusted market and consumer data directly within Microsoft 365 applications such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams.
By integrating with Microsoft Copilot, the Statista agent acts as a data companion, allowing users to:
Currently the Statista agent can be accessed via the Copilot app, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams. It is not supported within the Microsoft Researcher tool.
You can access Statista's extensive database, including all statistics and charts. The agent is designed to return relevant content depending on your query and subscription entitlements.
The LLM on Copilot side determines when Statista data would be helpful for your request. When you ask questions about statistics, market data, or topics that align with Statista's content catalog, the system will search Statista's database to provide you with relevant, authoritative data.
The foundational model layer in the Copilot stack typically uses OpenAI's GPT family, such as GPT‑4 or GPT‑4o Mini, hosted and managed by Microsoft in a secure, enterprise-compliant environment. Microsoft regularly updates the underlying models to improve reasoning, multimodal capabilities (text, images, audio), and performance. These updates roll out gradually and do not affect enterprise security or compliance commitments.
Microsoft explicitly states that Copilot and related AI services are built to operate within existing enterprise security frameworks, applying principles like Zero Trust, least privilege, and continuous verification to prevent unauthorised access or privilege escalation.
The foundational model used in Microsoft Copilot is part of OpenAI's GPT family (such as GPT-4 or GPT-4o Mini), securely hosted and managed by Microsoft within an enterprise-compliant environment.
The model powers Copilot's natural language understanding and generation capabilities, enabling it to interpret user prompts, retrieve relevant organizational and public information, and generate contextually appropriate responses, summaries, or recommendations within Microsoft 365 applications.
In essence, the model functions as the AI reasoning and language engine behind Copilot, transforming user intent expressed in natural language into actionable insights or content, while operating entirely within Microsoft's security, compliance, and privacy boundaries.
All interactions are handled in compliance with Statista's data privacy and security policies. The agent does not store or share your personal queries beyond what is required to deliver responses and improve product performance.
No, Statista does not have any visibility into data within the Microsoft tenant. Statista only has access to the specific parts of a query necessary to retrieve data from Statista's systems, nothing beyond that.
Statista receives only the specific information needed to find relevant statistics:
Your complete conversation and personal information remain private and are not shared with Statista.
The communication between Copilot and Statista's MCP server is secured using API key-based authentication and encrypted via HTTPS.
