Key points
- Microsoft introduces Copilot Home, Code, and Autopilot to unify chat, document creation, and autonomous agent workflows.
- Code allows users to build custom apps and automations using natural language, powered by GitHub Copilot technology.
- Autopilot operates as a persistent cloud agent that handles recurring tasks and follow-ups without constant user prompts.
Autopilot, previously known as Scout, acts as a persistent, proactive agent that operates in the cloud. It can manage recurring tasks, follow up on threads, and execute multi-step workflows like supplier reviews without constant user prompting. The platform is grounded in Microsoft IQ, which connects business context from Power BI, Dynamics 365, and Power Platform to provide real-time, governed data access.
Microsoft also introduced new pricing and management tools, including FinOps for AI to help organizations track spend and optimize value. The new features are rolling out via the Frontier program, with Home and Code starting in the coming weeks and Autopilot entering private preview at the end of the month. Future updates include a proactive "Today" view and enhanced team collaboration features in Teams.
