Microsoft has unveiled a major redesign of its Copilot work assistant, structured around three primary capabilities: Home (integrating Office in Copilot), the Code app builder, and Autopilot (a persistent agent formerly known as Scout). The update introduces the Copilot Managed Runtime hosting platform in public preview, expanded business-data grounding via Microsoft IQ, and a revised pricing model. Under the new pricing, everyday AI remains covered by per-user subscriptions, while agentic workflows run on usage-based Copilot Credits with built-in administrator FinOps controls.

The overhaul shifts Copilot from a basic assistant to a persistent, agentic enterprise platform.
