Over the past few years, AI has transformed how we access information and get\u00a0answers.\u00a0The next step is\u00a0helping people take\u00a0actions.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0the shift behind Copilot\u00a0Cowork.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We recently\u00a0introduced\u00a0Copilot Cowork through the Frontier program<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0move beyond chat and into execution\u2014helping you delegate real tasks and have them completed\u00a0for you.\u00a0Since then,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0seen people use\u00a0Cowork\u00a0in ways that go far beyond simple prompts: orchestrating inbox workflows, conducting deep research, generating structured documents, and even building full web pages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n What\u00a0is becoming\u00a0clear is that once AI understands your work, it can start contributing to it and working alongside you.\u00a0Cowork\u00a0is built on Work IQ, our intelligence layer that understands your data, your tools, and your organization. That foundation\u00a0allows\u00a0Cowork\u00a0to plan, act, and produce outcomes that are grounded in how your business\u00a0runs\u00a0and not just what is available on the public internet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Today,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0announcing\u00a0additional\u00a0capabilities in\u00a0Cowork\u00a0to expand\u00a0on\u00a0what\u00a0it can make possible\u00a0for you.<\/p>\n Work doesn\u2019t just happen at your desk\u2014bringing Cowork to iOS and Android mobile<\/p>\n A key part of our Copilot vision is bringing AI into the flow of work, wherever that work happens.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Cowork already runs in the cloud, so you don\u2019t have to worry about closing your laptop or if your PC is running. Now, we\u2019re introducing Cowork on iOS and Android so you can delegate work the moment you think of it\u2014on your commute, between meetings, or away from your desk\u2014and come back to a finished outcome. Instead of completing those tasks, you can hand them off and keep going while the work progresses in the background. <\/p>\n Turning work into reusable intelligence with Cowork Skills<\/p>\n A lot of work follows repeatable structures and that\u2019s where\u00a0skills\u00a0come in. A skill is a reusable set of instructions that\u00a0guides\u00a0Cowork\u00a0on\u00a0how to complete a task or workflow.\u00a0Instead of\u00a0starting from scratch\u00a0each time, you can capture how you want something done\u2014your structure, your tone, and your process\u2014and ask Cowork\u00a0to apply it consistently.\u00a0<\/p>\n We\u2019re\u00a0introducing built-in skills across Microsoft 365 to help with common workflows like creating documents, coordinating meetings, and conducting research. You can also create your own custom skills, whether you\u2019re standardizing a team process or automating recurring work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Over time, these skills become a shared layer of intelligence that helps teams scale how work gets done.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n We also know that work doesn\u2019t live in a single place.\u00a0It spans documents, data, and line-of-business systems. To meet that reality,\u00a0Cowork\u00a0is connecting more deeply to the tools your organization already relies\u00a0on\u00a0so it can\u00a0operate\u00a0across systems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n We\u2019re\u00a0introducing new native integrations across Microsoft products, including Fabric IQ<\/a>\u00a0with Power BI, so you can bring your data directly into Cowork workflows. We\u2019re\u00a0also expanding integrations with\u00a0Dynamics 365<\/a>\u00a0across sales, customer service, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications to support scenarios like pipeline reviews, case resolution, and order approvals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In the coming weeks,\u00a0we\u2019ll\u00a0be releasing connectors\u00a0to popular third-party solutions\u00a0such as\u00a0LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group), Miro,\u00a0monday.com, and S&P Global\u00a0Energy, with\u00a0more to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n Organizations\u00a0can also\u00a0build custom plugins\u00a0to extend\u00a0Cowork\u00a0to their unique systems and processes.\u00a0Learn how to\u00a0add<\/a>,\u00a0create<\/a>, and\u00a0manage<\/a>\u00a0plugins in Copilot\u00a0Cowork\u202fand start building yours today.\u00a0<\/p>\n Try Copilot Cowork<\/p>\n We\u2019re\u00a0still early and moving fast. Over the last few weeks,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0been continuously expanding what\u00a0Cowork can\u00a0do\u00a0and\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0continue to see rapid improvements as we build alongside how customers are using it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
