Summary
Microsoft is developing a unified "super app" that consolidates its various Copilot AI tools — including GitHub Copilot, Copilot chat, Copilot Cowork, and a new agentic workflow feature called Autopilot — into a single destination. The project, led by new Copilot chief Jacob Andreou, aims to solve customer frustration with Microsoft's fragmented AI assistant offerings across its product portfolio. The move comes as Microsoft faces increasing competition from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic in the AI assistant space.
