Microsoft introduced its new Copilot, saying in a Friday (Sept. 25) blog post that this artificial intelligence assistant now brings together several capabilities that were previously separate.
The new Copilot includes both Chat and Cowork in a new starting point called Home; Word, Excel and PowerPoint functionality in Office in Copilot; GitHub Copilot-like tools in Code; and a personal agent in Autopilot, which was previously called Scout, according to the post.
An upcoming change to Copilot will enable the tool to route the user’s work to the right capability for the job, whether Chat, Cowork or Code, so that the user doesn’t have to select a mode, the post said.
Microsoft will start rolling out Home and Code in the company’s Frontier program in the coming weeks and will expand Autopilot to private preview at the end of September, per the post.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a Friday post on social platform X that by bringing these capabilities together, the company is “building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor and every task.”
Describing the changes, Nadella said: “The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.”
We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task.
