Microsoft revamps Copilot with code generation, agentic AI tools

Microsoft has announced a comprehensive overhaul of its Copilot ecosystem, introducing a central workspace structure featuring Home, Code, and Autopilot. The revamp moves Copilot beyond its chat-based roots to compete directly with AI alternatives from Anthropic and OpenAI. The new structure integrates Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint natively into the interface. It also introduces natural-language app building for non-technical workers and an always-on AI agent designed for business users and office productivity.
