What changed:
Copilot Cowork introduces a new way to get work done: delegate an outcome, not just a task. Cowork can understand your goal, gather the right context from your Microsoft 365 data combined with external sources, coordinate work across tools, and complete multi-step actions with your approval. Work remains grounded in your organization's data and governed by existing Microsoft 365 security, privacy, and compliance controls.
Why:
Completing complex work across multiple communication and collaboration tools involves coordinating information from multiple sources, researching context, and completing a series of interconnected steps. Copilot Cowork streamlines this by delivering meaningful outcomes while keeping you informed and in control.
Try this:
Switch from Chat to Cowork in the Copilot app.
Describe the task and outcome you want to achieve, including sources, actions, and deliverables.
Review the plan and progress as Cowork works on your behalf.
Receive completed outputs that are grounded in your organization's work data and reduce manual effort.
Why this matters:
Instead of manually coordinating work across emails, meetings, documents, and applications, users can delegate complex work and focus on higher-value decisions.
Business impact:
Organizations can accelerate work across teams by reducing time spent coordinating, researching, and executing multi-step processes, improving operational efficiency and consistency.
Personal impact:
You save time by delegating tasks without switching between multiple apps, context gathering, and execution needed to deliver results.
