About this tag
Copilot Chat is Microsoft's AI-powered chat assistant integrated across Microsoft 365 apps and services. Discussions on WindowsForum cover upcoming features and changes, including organization-level adoption metrics rolling out in November 2026 for the Copilot Dashboard, the ability for agents published to Agent 365 to act as connected agents within Copilot Chat by August 2026, and the launch of a Surveys Agent in Microsoft Forms for Copilot users. Usage reports for GCC High and DoD admin centers are planned for July 2026. A planned "Show Me More" feature was canceled, highlighting enterprise search challenges. Copilot Chat is gaining search capabilities for scanned PDFs and image text. Licensing changes in April 2026 removed the Copilot button from Office apps for users without a paid license. In VS Code 1.116, Copilot Chat became built-in with agent debug logs and terminal tools.
