Microsoft Bolsters Copilot with New Productivity Features and AI Capabilities

Microsoft has expanded its Copilot platform to include new features aimed at transforming it into a comprehensive productivity hub for office users.

The company is integrating Microsoft 365 apps, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, directly inside Copilot, allowing users to collaborate and work within these applications without switching between tools.

One of the key additions is a 'Code' tool that enables users to create applications, dashboards, and other software using natural language prompts.

The 'Autopilot' AI agent is another new feature, designed as a digital coworker with its own identity and permissions, intended to align with corporate governance frameworks.
