Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

Microsoft needs to solve a nagging problem: It has various Copilot AI assistants throughout its portfolio of products, irking customers who seek a single destination. The company is planning to solve that by creating a super app for its most popular AI tools. Recommended Video The software giant is working on a one-stop shop that would connect its GitHub Copilot coding assistant, Copilot chat function, Copilot Cowork tool and a new agentic workflow capability internally named Autopilot into a single app, according to two sources familiar with the project, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a platform that hasn’t yet been released. The project is being spearheaded by Jacob Andreou, Microsoft’s recently appointed head of Copilot.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Fortune.
