Microsoft officially launches an updated Copilot app positioned as a “super app” for business users. The redesigned interface brings together multiple AI capabilities, including chat-based assistance, coding features, and a new agent capability Microsoft describes as “Autopilot.” Microsoft also introduces the ability to run long-running tasks through these agent tools.
In addition to the core app changes, Microsoft is rebranding an earlier AI assistant offering it introduced at its Build conference. Multiple outlets report that “Scout” is being renamed to Autopilot as part of this rollout. The coverage also emphasizes Microsoft’s intent to make the Copilot app a central work interface, drawing comparisons to the influence of Office.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis and naming details. Fortune and The Verge focus on the bundling of chat, coding, and agents. The Next Web highlights the always-on nature and long-running aspect of Autopilot. Times of India adds operational and administrative elements, including gradual feature rollout and a plugin registry for centralized management by administrators.
