Microsoft overhauled its Copilot app into a centralized platform combining standard chat, document editing, and software development tools to rival integrated offerings from competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI. The newly integrated “Code” section—built on GitHub Copilot technology—allows users to generate custom apps, dashboards, and automated workflows using plain-language descriptions inside a secure sandbox. Microsoft introduced customizable, cloud-based “Autopilot” agents that operate independently with their own memory and identities, enabling them to handle tasks and collaborate via Teams and Outlook. Moving away from standard flat monthly fees for every feature, Microsoft announced usage-based billing structures for advanced capabilities like coding and autonomous agents to spur enterprise adoption.
