Copilot’s agentic capabilities in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are generally available

Today, I am excited to share that agentic capabilities in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are now generally available. Copilot can take multi-step, app-native actions directly in your documents, worksheets, and presentations—helping you move from first draft to final output faster, while you stay in control. This new default experience is already proving more useful in real work. Early customer feedback shows stronger engagement and higher satisfaction, reinforcing the value of Copilot as a true collaborator that helps get work done. When we first shipped Copilot, foundation models were not powerful enough to use Copilot to command the applications. This meant Copilot was a passive partner in documents: it could answer questions but missed the mark when it was asked to take action on the canvas directly. Over the past year, models have made meaningful leaps in instruction following, reasoning, and overall quality, and are now better at handling multi-step edits reliably without losing your intent.
