Microsoft repositioned Copilot from a chat-focused assistant to a unified workspace that lets users delegate tasks, build no-code solutions and run background agents, with tighter Office integration and a managed runtime for safe enterprise deployment.
Copilot now centers on three tabs—Home (Chat + Cowork), Code (no-code/low-code app building) and Autopilot (always-on agents)—to move beyond conversational use.
Copilot Managed Runtime provides an enterprise-controlled way to run created code inside Microsoft 365, currently in preview to give organizations control over sharing and data access.
Autopilot agents can perform multi-step tasks autonomously in the background, while Copilot will choose the appropriate mode (Chat, Cowork, Code) when a user describes a task.
# What changed
# Home: one place to start Home combines the existing Chat and Cowork features. Chat remains the space for asking questions, researching and preparing drafts. Cowork targets larger assignments that users can hand over to Copilot to execute. Examples Microsoft cites include drafting responses to requests for proposals, producing launch materials, preparing client briefs and assembling documents for financial close.
# Code: build without traditional coding
Microsoft also introduced Copilot Managed Runtime, an infrastructure component that lets organizations run code inside the Microsoft 365 environment. The runtime is in preview and is presented as a way for organizations to control how applications are created, shared and connected to organizational data.
# Autopilot: background agents that act without constant user input Autopilot brings agentic capabilities that can carry out multi-step tasks autonomously and run in the background. The new Copilot is designed so tasks can be delegated and Copilot will take the required follow-up actions to complete them, rather than only responding to sequential user prompts.
Autopilot's private preview availability was signaled for expansion around the end of September, while Home and Code will begin rolling out through Microsoft's Frontier program in the coming weeks.
# Security and enterprise control Microsoft emphasizes safe execution and organizational control. Code runs in sandboxed environments, and Copilot Managed Runtime offers a way to execute and manage applications within an organization's Microsoft 365 boundary. That model is meant to give IT and security teams governance over sharing and data access for Copilot-created solutions.
# What this means for users and organizations
# Timeline and availability Microsoft indicated Home and Code will roll out via the Frontier program over the next few weeks. Autopilot was moving to an expanded private preview near the end of September. Copilot Managed Runtime is currently available in preview.
# Bottom line
Microsoft анонсировала перезапуск Copilot в виде нового суперприложения в прошлом месяце. Теперь компания официально представила его публике. Обновлённое приложение Copilot объединяет в едином интерфейсе три функции на базе ИИ: чат, инструменты для написания кода и ИИ-агентов. В рамках запуска Microsoft также провела р
