Microsoft unveils new Copilot 'super-app' to transform workflows
Microsoft has unveiled its new Copilot app, an integrated AI super-app that combines chat, coding and agents into a single interface. The company believes the initiative could become as influential as Microsoft Office.
What happened?
Microsoft has officially unveiled a new, redesigned version of its Copilot app, designed as an AI super-app. The app integrates three core AI capabilities into a unified interface: chat, coding, and autonomous agent functionality. The user interface is divided into three main tabs: Home, Code, and Autopilot. The Home tab combines Copilot Chat and Cowork, while introducing a new 'Today' feature that functions as a personal dashboard for emails, meeting requests, and Teams threads.
Key facts
| Appens flikar | Home, Code och Autopilot |
|---|---|
| Namnändrad produkt | Scout blev Autopilot |
| Huvudfunktioner | Chatt, kodning, agenter och Today-instrumentpanel |
”Home is where you get your bearings, keeping you grounded and moving forward: review recent activity, get suggestions on what Copilot can help with, and pick up work right where you left off”
Why it matters
By consolidating chat, code editing, and automated agents into a single application, Microsoft aims to reduce friction between different AI tools. The company believes this integrated super-app has the potential to become as influential for modern working life as the Microsoft Office suite has been.
Who is affected?
The initiative primarily affects office workers, developers, and organisations that use the Microsoft ecosystem for their daily operations. Developers gain direct access to AI-assisted coding in the Code tab, while office staff and administrators will be affected by the consolidated dashboard for workflow management.
Impact on the EU
The new interface is being rolled out globally for Microsoft Copilot users. In the EU, the service's data processing and agents are subject to the EU AI Act and GDPR, which impose requirements on how personal data in Teams and email is handled in features such as 'Today'.
What else you should know
The launch also marks a name change, with the AI assistant Scout—showcased at the Build conference earlier this year—renamed to Autopilot. Microsoft emphasises that the ambition is to make Copilot as central to digital work as Microsoft Office has been over the past decades.
