About this tag
Microsoft Copilot Cowork is an agentic Microsoft 365 capability that reached general enterprise availability in June 2026, moving Copilot from a conversational assistant to a delegated work execution layer. It lets business users delegate multi-step tasks across Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint, with review and approval checkpoints. The shift introduces usage-based billing through Copilot Credits, admin-controlled rollout, and new cost-management controls. Microsoft is also considering Azure-hosted DeepSeek models to reduce costs, which raises governance and security questions, especially in regions like Australia. For IT professionals, Copilot Cowork makes AI governance, cost control, and data hygiene central to managing digital labor in the enterprise.
