Microsoft rebuilds Copilot into a super app with persistent Autopilot agents

- Microsoft has rebuilt Copilot into a super app spanning chat, coding, Office work, and persistent agents.
- Autopilot is the bigger functional shift: it stays active without repeated prompting, has its own identity, and acts under organization-set permissions.
- The first Autopilot agent, Scout, is powered by OpenClaw and connects across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, browsers, local resources, and MCP servers.
- It sits in the same category as Meta's Muse—browsing, scheduling, and executing tasks via connected services rather than just chatting.
- Microsoft is authorizing steeper enterprise discounts of 30-50% to win seats that can later generate usage revenue.
