Kenya, 17 June 2026 – Microsoft has announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide, an AI-powered tool that is designed to automate complex workplace tasks across multiple business applications.
The announcement comes after a three-month preview period under Microsoft’s Frontier Program, during which more than half of Fortune 500 companies adopted the technology alongside firms including Accenture, Avanade, Advance Local, Capital Group, Koch, Ooredoo Qatar, and Zurich Insurance.
According to the tech giant, the organizations have already adopted the tool to automate work that previously required extensive manual work.
“Cowork is the fastest growing feature in the history of our Frontier program, and Cowork has among the highest user satisfaction of any Copilot or agent experience we have shipped,” the company said.
“We learned from what we saw, engaged with you along the way, and used everything we heard to improve quality and add new features, including model choice, extensibility through plugins, and new cost management controls,” it added.
Unlike other AI assistants that generate recommendations or drafts, Microsoft says that Copilot Cowork is actually designed to execute long-running, multi-step assignments from start to finish.
The platform is built on five key pillars, which include cloud hosting, Work IQ integration, enterprise-grade security and compliance, multi-model support, and lower operating costs.
