微软发布新版Copilot：新增Home、Code与Autopilot功能

We’re reimagining Microsoft Copilot to enable work as it evolves and to help expand what every individual and every organization can accomplish in the flow of human ambition. Today we’re introducing the new Copilot to connect the tools people rely on with the next generation of capabilities they’ll need to build, customize and scale AI across work.

The Copilot app now has three new capabilities: Home is your new starting point, where Chat and Cowork come together — and with Office in Copilot, the full power of Word, Excel and PowerPoint is now built into the experience. Code lets everyone build their own solutions with the tools to run them safely, and it’s powered by the same underlying technology as GitHub Copilot. And Autopilot is a persistent, proactive and personal agent that keeps working even when you’re not. Home and Code will start rolling out in our Frontier program in the coming weeks and Autopilot is expanding to private preview at the end of the month.

We’re also excited to share new FinOps for AI capabilities to help you manage spend and get the most value from Copilot and agents.

A new experience for every mode of work

Home is your new starting point in Copilot, where Chat and Cowork come together in one place. As work moves constantly between meetings, chats, documents, emails, apps and agents, Home is where you get your bearings, keeping you grounded and moving forward. You can review recent activity, get suggestions on what Copilot can help with, and pick up work right where you left off. Chat is instant and conversational — ready for quick questions, lookups, draft-creation and keeping you in the loop on every turn. Cowork is for work you delegate. You define the task and it runs end-to-end to return a completed result: an RFP response, a launch kit, a customer briefing, a financial close package or any other complex work worth iterating on. And coming soon, you won’t need to choose a mode: simply state what you need to accomplish, and Copilot will route the work to Chat, Cowork or Code — whichever capability is right for the job.

We’re also bringing the full power of Word, Excel and PowerPoint to Copilot with Office in Copilot. Now you can get to real work fast: no broken formatting, no stray versions, no rebuilding the context in another app. From Home you can ask Copilot to draft a launch brief, model a budget, build a deck, or pick up a file your team is already working on, and it creates or updates a real, editable document, workbook or presentation — live for your whole team, not just you. Refine it side by side with your conversation, or @mention a teammate and their edits show up as they make them — things stay in sync between Copilot and the Office apps, so progress travels with you wherever you work.

If you haven’t used Copilot in the Office apps lately, take another look. PowerPoint now keeps decks on-brand automatically and enables you to fine-tune slides and images or quickly apply a custom template. When Copilot or another collaborator makes edits in Excel, you can see exactly what changed and why, so you’re up to speed quickly, and Copilot recommends the best chart to visualize your data. And across Microsoft 365, Skills help bring specialized expertise directly into the apps, like financial skills in Excel and legal skills in Word, and enable organizations to scale best practices through reusable, role-specific workflows.

Code moves solution-building outside the realm of developers alone. To date, the unit of knowledge work has been the file: the document, the spreadsheet, the deck. Those aren’t going anywhere, but Code adds a fourth: small, purpose-built solutions anyone can create to get a job done. Learning to build them is becoming as basic a skill as writing a memo or modeling a budget.

Describe an app, tracker, dashboard, automation or workflow in natural language, and Copilot chooses an approach and builds it — from persistent desktop widgets for quick reference and interactive dashboards for exploring data and testing outcomes to cloud-hosted internal apps you can share with your team.

Powered by the same underlying technology as GitHub Copilot, Code runs in a sandboxed environment and can be hosted securely within your tenant. With Microsoft IQ, everything you create is grounded in the context of your work, and plugins sync automatically. Your software developers continue to use GitHub Copilot for their day-to-day work with more connectivity into the Copilot platform. Code is rolling out to Frontier at the end of the month, with broad availability in the coming weeks. It will be in preview for Microsoft 365 Premium and Pro subscribers later this year.

As it gets easier and faster than ever to build in Copilot, we’re introducing Microsoft Copilot Managed Runtime: hosting infrastructure that lets code run safely right inside your company’s Microsoft 365 environment. It’s governed by IT but easy for everyone else: share an app with teammates, connect it to live data and access it from anywhere. This same foundation enables apps built in Cowork, Code and Copilot Studio, and we’re opening it up to third-party and pro-code developers, too. Copilot Managed Runtime is now in preview and will also be accessible inside Code.

Autopilot, previously called Scout, is your digital teammate. And it works for you: Give it a name, a role and a goal, and it goes to work — watching channels, following up on threads, running recurring work and picking a project back up days later, without waiting for a prompt. It can do things like set up and manage a full supplier review process: building the schedule and workback plan, then handling prep, meetings and follow-ups on its own, right down to reaching out to stakeholders for updates. And Autopilot is cloud-hosted, so it keeps working while you sleep or your attention is elsewhere — no constant monitoring required.

Autopilot lives in your tenant with its own identity, memory, computer and workspace, and it’s built on Microsoft IQ so it understands how your organization actually works. It shows up where people already work — Teams, Outlook, chats, channels and documents — so you can @mention it like a colleague, with permissions, audit and governance behind it. You set the objective and boundaries; Autopilot handles the rest while keeping you informed and in control.

Expanding your business context

Copilot is grounded in Microsoft IQ, the unified intelligence platform for enterprise AI across your Microsoft stack, connecting how the business operates with the knowledge it holds into one real-time view for Copilot and your agents, governed and secure.

Today we are expanding the business context available to Copilot. Fabric IQ brings trusted context from your data, including the 20+ million semantic models in Power BI into Copilot. It grounds Chat and Cowork, and is generally available in both today, with Code integration coming through the Frontier program soon. Rolling out over the next month in public preview, Copilot is now grounded in data and workflows from Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. So, when a salesperson is working on a proposal, for instance, Copilot can incorporate data like deal history and support tickets right into the document, with no app-switching or distracting lookups required.
