Microsoft revamps Copilot with code generation, agentic AI tools
The updated app adds a coding tool and always-on agents as Microsoft seeks to boost enterprise adoption and charge for advanced AI features by usage.
- On Friday, Microsoft unveiled a redesigned Copilot app featuring Home, Code, and Autopilot tabs, integrating AI chat, coding tools, and autonomous agent management into a single unified interface.
- Previously, Microsoft's AI tools were fragmented across consumer and enterprise offerings, prompting the company to consolidate services into a so-called "super app" to compete with rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI.
- The new Code tab lets users build apps and automations in a secure, sandboxed environment, while Autopilot creates custom "digital teammates" with their own memory, identity, and Outlook accounts managed by IT.
- Microsoft is implementing usage-based billing for Cowork, Code, and Autopilot, moving beyond fixed per-seat subscriptions; CEO Satya Nadella framed this as "per-seat-plus-consumption" pricing evolution.
- Rollout begins in the coming weeks for Microsoft's Frontier program participants, with broader previews later this year; the company describes the platform as a "new OS for work.
