The software giant is working on a one-stop shop that would connect its GitHub Copilot coding assistant, Copilot chat function, Copilot Cowork tool, and a new agentic workflow capability internally named Autopilot into a single app, according to two sources familiar with the project, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a platform that hasn’t yet been released. The project is being spearheaded by Jacob Andreou, Microsoft’s recently appointed head of Copilot. One of Andreou’s primary tasks has been to unite the consumer and enterprise sides of Copilot into a cohesive product.
There may also be a toggle function for a user to go back and forth between their personal and enterprise 365 Copilots. A user will still be able to access their Copilots outside of the super app. Microsoft declined to comment.
Microsoft has found that customers dislike shifting between its Copilot tools, and the company also seeks for people to see more value from Copilot, the sources familiar with the plans said.
Microsoft in the past year has undergone one of the largest corporate reshuffles in its history that has included a string of high-profile departures and reorgs throughout its businesses. In April, it announced its first-ever employee buyout offer, aimed at its most long-tenured employees.
At next week’s Build conference, Microsoft AI Chief Executive Mustafa Suleyman is expected to unveil new proprietary AI models. Suleyman, who once led consumer Copilot, has focused on models since the restructuring in March.
