Now available

These features are now generally available.
  • Copilot Cowork brings enterprise‑ready AI for long‑running, complex work into Microsoft 365 Copilot, moving beyond prompts and responses toward execution that unfolds over time. As of June 16, you can automate multi‑step tasks across your work data with new partner plugins, integrated security and governance controls, branded templates, image generation, and more making it even easier for you to get work done.
     
  • Work IQ API gives developers access to the intelligence layer behind Microsoft 365 Copilot through agent‑to‑agent (A2A), Model Context Protocol (MCP), and REST interfaces. Developers can build agents and apps grounded in real work context—without raw data plumbing—while inheriting enterprise security, compliance, and governance by default.
     
  • Copilot Notebooks is now rolling out to Copilot Chat users, so you can create shared notebooks and, bring together project content in one workspace—making collaboration broadly accessible. Explore Copilot Notebooks in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app and in OneNote.
     
  • Show employees they're using an approved AI tool by adding your organization's logo to the bottom of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. It's a simple way to build trust and signal that Copilot is managed by your organization. Set it up in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
     

Coming soon

These features are currently in development.
  • Make decisions with confidence. Researcher brings leading AI models together with two new capabilities to refine responses from GPT with Claude with Critique, and compare GPT and Claude responses side by side with Council.

Copilot Cowork: Multiple models, matched to your work

Cowork 1 will be a secure, fine‑tuned model releasing in the coming weeks, post‑trained to handle Cowork‑specific tasks. This gives you a lower‑cost option for everyday work, while Copilot continues to match each task to the best model and keep your data protected.
