Microsoft wants to open the door to the era of autonomous AI agents at work with Copilot Cowork
Summary
Microsoft has launched Copilot Cowork globally as a new way to execute work through autonomous AI agents inside Microsoft 365. The product is now generally available after a preview period and is already being used by several large enterprises to automate complex tasks such as spreadsheet editing, file comparison, and sales pipeline analysis. Microsoft positions the service as an autonomous, end-to-end execution layer that uses cloud infrastructure, Work IQ context, and a multimodel architecture to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The release also introduces usage-based billing, admin controls, budget alerts, and detailed cost monitoring. Microsoft is expanding the product through partner plugins and tighter integration with business tools like Miro, Monday, Adobe, Atlassian, Box, and Canva.
