Microsoft Launches New Copilot 'Super App' for Chat, Code, and Agents
Microsoft has unveiled a new Copilot 'super app' that integrates chat, coding, and autonomous agents into a single interface. Simultaneously, the assistant previously known as Scout has been rebranded as Autopilot.
What happened?
On 25 September 2026, Microsoft unveiled its new Copilot 'super app'. The application combines three AI functions within a single interface: chat, coding, and autonomous agents. The interface is divided into three tabs—Home, Code, and Autopilot. In conjunction with the launch, the AI assistant unveiled at the Build conference in May 2024 has been renamed from Scout to Autopilot.

Why it matters
Microsoft anticipates that the new super app could be as influential for digital work as the Microsoft Office suite once was. By centralising chat, code support, and agents, the company aims to reduce the need for disparate AI tools in daily workflows.
Who is affected?
The application is aimed at general users, developers, and office professionals who require a unified interface for text-based queries, programming, and automated workflows.
Impact on the EU
As the product was launched in the US on 25 September 2026, it is currently unclear what the rollout schedule for users within the EU will be. Compliance with EU regulations such as the AI Act and GDPR may affect the pace at which more advanced agent functions are launched in the European market.
What else you should know
The renaming of the assistant from Scout to Autopilot is part of Microsoft's strategy to consolidate all its productivity-focused AI services under the Copilot brand.
