About this tag
Microsoft Copilot Cowork is an enterprise agent within Microsoft 365 Copilot that moves beyond simple text generation to delegated, multi-step work across Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint. It reached general availability in June 2026 after a Frontier preview, introducing usage-based billing via Copilot Credits, admin-controlled rollout, and support for Anthropic and potentially Azure-hosted DeepSeek models. Copilot Cowork allows business users to define broad goals, which the agent executes in the background with human review checkpoints. The shift emphasizes governance, cost management, and auditability, as organizations must now manage digital labor with the same rigor as human labor. Topics include enterprise IT, AI governance, metered billing, and adoption analytics through Viva Insights.
