heyneighbor · x · 2026-09-26
Satya Nadella positioned Copilot as 'a new OS for work spanning every model, form factor and task' with the biggest update to date:
- Autopilot: a proactive, long-running enterprise agent that works across days or weeks given a role and a goal;
- Code: build apps with Copilot hosted in the company tenant, with Managed Apps for team sharing;
- Home: Chat + Cowork together;
- Office: fully embedded in Copilot (and vice versa).
Copilot is also invocable in Teams, plus a new proactive Today experience surfacing key info across M365 without being asked. CMO Jared Spataro detailed the reimagining on the official blog.
