Microsoft believes that new Copilot can have as much impact as Office

A Microsoft announced a new version of its Copilot, which aims to recreate the vision the company has for Artificial Intelligence when applied to the desktop. In a statement, Microsoft proposes “to gather tools in a single environment that allow you to chat, delegate tasks, create business solutions and perform autonomous work”.

This version of Copilot goes through the creation of three areas. The first is the Home, where users can find the Chat – with research in a conversational way, creating drafts and monitoring information – and also the Cowork – where users can delegate tasks to Artificial Intelligence.

There's still to know Code and Autopilot.

O Code it is intended, as the name indicates, for people working in the programming area and “allows to describe an application, dashboard, automation or workflow in natural language”, being supported by the same technology that is at the base of GitHub Copilot.

However, the Autopilot (formerly known as Scout) comes down to an Artificial Intelligence agent with “identity, memory, virtual computer and own workspace” and which integrates into tools such as Teams, Outlook and documents. Of course, you can set limits and goals so you are properly informed about this work.

Microsoft seems to have great expectations (and confidence) in this new vision of Copilot, indicating that it expects it to have such a strong impact on how to work as Office tools.

“As Microsoft Office defined productivity in the PC era, the new Copilot was designed to help people and organizations accelerate innovation and expand its impact on the AI era”, says Microsoft.

Microsoft reports that it intends to share more information about this new vision for Copilot at the Microsoft Ingnite event, which will take place in San Francisco, USA, between November 17 and 20.
