Microsoft introduced a new Copilot with Home, Code and Autopilot. Home unifies Chat and Cowork as a single starting point. Office in Copilot embeds Word, Excel and PowerPoint directly. Code lets non-developers build and run custom solutions. Autopilot is a persistent agent that works without prompts. Home and Code roll out to Frontier soon. Autopilot expands to private preview at month end. Copilot Managed Runtime hosts code safely in Microsoft 365. Fabric IQ and Dynamics 365 data now ground Copilot. A new plugin registry centralizes Microsoft and partner plugins. Usage-based billing applies to Cowork, Code, Autopilot and frontier models.
What changed
Copilot offered Chat and Cowork as separate experiences without Office integration or persistent agents.
