Microsoft packages business AI in single app as it tries to compete with Anthropic

Summary

Microsoft has introduced an updated Copilot app that combines coding and complex productivity tasks, aiming to draw more Office 365 customers to paid AI tools. Fewer than 7% of more than 450 million commercial Office 365 seats hold licenses for the AI add-on, and the new app charges for its Cowork, Code and Autopilot portions based on usage rather than subscription. Access to the Home and Code tabs begins for Frontier program companies in the coming weeks, with Autopilot in private preview by the end of the month.
