Microsoft Unveils AI Upgrades, Rolls Out Copilot Cowork to Early-Access Customers
Microsoft introduced Copilot Cowork in early access and enhanced Researcher with AI features that improved research accuracy by 13.8%, aiding complex task management and decision-making.
- On Monday, Microsoft introduced "Critique" and "Council" features to its Copilot Researcher agent, enabling simultaneous use of OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude models while expanding early access to Copilot Cowork through its Frontier program.
- Microsoft's AI strategy increasingly relies on integrating third-party large language models, having unveiled Copilot Cowork earlier this month to handle complex, multi-step workflows while allowing enterprise customers to maintain data security.
- The Critique feature improved Researcher tool's score by 13.8% on the DRACO benchmark, achieving 57.4; GPT generates drafts while Claude reviews them for "accuracy, completeness, and citation integrity," Microsoft noted.
- Nicole Herskowitz, corporate vice president of Microsoft 365 and Copilot, said "we're taking this to the next level, where customers actually get the benefits of the models working together," as the approach reduces AI hallucinations and accelerates workflows.
- Microsoft expects to make the Critique workflow bi-directional, eventually allowing GPT to review Claude's drafts; meanwhile, the company's shares rose about 1% on Monday despite a nearly 25% stock decline for the quarter.
