Microsoft 365 Copilot is your AI work assistant built on Work IQ and Enterprise Data Protection. Copilot integrates with your current apps and workflows, supporting tasks from simple to complex. As new models emerge, Copilot grows more powerful. Today, we are excited about the next one. To announce new features on this journey
We recently announced that the technology behind Claude Cowork is coming to Microsoft 365 Copilot. Now, Co-pilot Co-work, built for long-running, multi-step work in Microsoft 365, is available through the Frontier program. Join Frontier to get early access to Microsoft’s newest AI features and find out more about Co-pilot Co-work.
Co-pilot Co-Work helps you delegate and finish tasks more easily. Just describe what you want to achieve, and Co-pilot Co-Work will create a plan, use your tools and files, and keep the work moving forward with accurate updates and chances for you to guide Co-pilot Co-Work. Help tune, delegate, and complete tasks more efficiently. By simply describing your goal, Copilot, Co‑Work, creates actionable plans, leverages your tools and files, and sends status updates and images. You guide the process as needed. Key benefits include streamlining repetitive work, organizing meetings, summarizing information, and automating regular workflows — such as monthly budget reviews. Which features, like calendar management and daily briefings from Cloud and Microsoft Copilot for coworkers, empower users to handle one-off tasks and recurring responsibilities. Early adopters like Capital Group have experienced more effective scheduling, planning, and executive preparation.
We started using Copilot when it launched in 2024. Now, co-workers know the features help us automate and expand our Copilot use instead of just creating content or answers. Co‑work connects steps, coordinates tasks, and ensures work gets done across daily processes. Co‑work uses our enterprise data and fits within our security and risk guidelines, so we can experiment and grow confidently. This helps us move faster and use AI where it truly matters.

We’re also excited to share the latest features in Researcher. Now with Multimodal Intelligence, the researcher continues to answer complex questions by combining information from different sources, creating a thorough analysis and giving you cited, well-explained responses you can trust.
The new critique feature in Researcher goes further by clearly separating tasks. It uses models from Frontier Lab, such as Anthropic and OpenAI. One model plans the tasks and writes the first draft, then another model reviews and improves the work, acting as an expert before the final report is ready.
The results are clear. Researcher now scores 13.8% higher on the deep research accuracy, completeness, and objectivity (DRACO) benchmark, which is the industry standard for deep research quality.
With the researchers’ new Model Council, you can compare answers from different models side by side. This allows you to easily see where the models agree, where they differ, and what unique insights each provides. It’s like having several researchers working for you. Learn more here.
