We’re reimagining Microsoft Copilot to enable work as it evolves and to help expand what every individual and every organization can accomplish in the flow of human ambition. Today we’re introducing the new Copilot to connect the tools people rely on with the next generation of capabilities they’ll need to build, customize and scale AI across work.

The Copilot app now has three new capabilities: Home is your new starting point, where Chat and Cowork come together — and with Office in Copilot, the full power of Word, Excel and PowerPoint is now built into the experience. Code lets everyone build their own solutions with the tools to run them safely, and it’s powered by the same underlying technology as GitHub Copilot. And Autopilot is a persistent, proactive and personal agent that keeps working even when you’re not. Home and Code will start rolling out in our Frontier program in the coming weeks and Autopilot is expanding to private preview at the end of the month.

Code is becoming easier for anyone to create with AI. Apps in Copilot Cowork and the new Copilot Code experience bring that creation directly into Copilot, helping people move from an idea to working apps and code in the same place they already get work done.

Functioning code is only the first step. The work that follows includes provisioning and securing cloud resources, configuring identity and security models, honoring organizational policies, and establishing deployment processes. Operating the app throughout its lifecycle can slow teams down, consume additional resources, and create a different governance model for every app-building platform.

Today, we’re introducing Microsoft Copilot Managed Runtime into public preview, an enterprise-grade platform to run code within the Microsoft 365 tenant boundary that’s governed by IT and inherits all the usability expectations users have such as sharing, live data connections, and easy access to their apps.

Copilot Managed Runtime already powers the apps built in Copilot Cowork, Copilot Code, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. We’re also enabling access to third-party tooling and professional developers, giving IT admins a consistent way to govern apps and giving users a familiar app experience, across build experiences.
