> - AI-powered Submissions Response capability introduces generative AI explanations for email submissions to Microsoft. These explanations aim to provide enterprise admins with clear, detailed, human-readable explanations for why messages were classified. Currently, this feature is scoped to email submissions only, and AI-generated explanations aren't used for the following types of submissions:
> - Files
> - URLs
> - Microsoft Teams messages
> - User submissions
>
> AI-generated explanations are available for the following verdicts:
>
> - Spam
> - Bulk
> - Threats found
> - No threats found
> - Unknown
>
> If the AI-generated explanation is unavailable, the system falls back to the existing explanation as described in the following table.

The following table describes the results of submissions to Microsoft:

- **Status** indicates whether the previously described checks have been completed.
- **Result** indicates the details that were generated during the analysis using the previously described checks
- **Result** indicates the details that were generated during the analysis using the previously described checks.
