Reported result
Microsoft reports 1,450 paid licenses, over 1,000 agents and 130 research requests, most completed the same day versus previously weeks. A survey found 44% perceived less task time. INPEX’s estimated annual value of over JPY2bn covers company AI use; it is not Copilot-only cash savings.
What this does not establish
Vendor story with named customer speakers. Report throughput does not establish report accuracy. License/agent counts do not measure sustained use. The company-wide value estimate may overlap other AI work, including Ichthys, and has no disclosed net-return method.
Which agents do people keep using, and does better research or meeting preparation change a decision?
Research tool; Building a foundation for change; Looking beyond estimated annual value
Disclosure history
Employees build agents for research, rules and management meetings
INPEX uses Copilot for research and shared agents for company rules, regulatory searches and contract knowledge. A management-meeting agent checks uploaded materials and suggests questions. SharePoint, OneDrive, Office and Teams provide work context. Employees can create simpler agents; advanced Studio agents using external connectors or triggers require a cost-and-access approval process. Training videos and departmental ambassadors support use.
