Microsoft introduced a new Copilot experience with Home, Code and Autopilot modes. Home combines Chat and Cowork for starting work and Office content creation. Cowork handles delegated tasks end-to-end. Code turns descriptions into working software using GitHub Copilot technology. Autopilot runs persistent agents that continue work without user interaction. Microsoft Copilot Managed Runtime provides enterprise-grade hosting and governance for AI-built apps. Copilot Credits enable usage-based billing for advanced workloads. FinOps for AI helps organizations control, measure and optimize AI spend.
