Microsoft introduces new Copilot with Home, Code, Autopilot

Summary

Microsoft is reorganizing its Copilot app around three areas: Home, Code, and Autopilot. Home combines Chat and Cowork and builds Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into the experience, while Code lets anyone build solutions on the same technology as GitHub Copilot. Autopilot is a persistent, proactive agent that keeps working when you are not, and @Copilot in Teams draws on the shared context and permissions of a channel, group chat, or meeting. Home and Code start rolling out through the Frontier program in the coming weeks, with Autopilot expanding to private preview at the end of the month.

Why it matters for our work

Bringing chat, documents, coding, and autonomous agents into one app could reshape how knowledge workers move between tools, though most capabilities arrive gradually over the coming weeks and months.
