Microsoft launched a new version of Copilot for Microsoft 365 with a Code section for nontechnical workers, and its new Surface laptops forgo Copilot+ PC branding.
Microsoft is restructuring its Copilot app into three sections: Home, Code, and a new continuously running cloud agent called Autopilot, built on OpenClaw. Microsoft says Autopilot can monitor Teams channels and complete tasks on its own.
Why it matters: It changes how Copilot is packaged and adds an autonomous agent that runs in the cloud rather than only responding to prompts.
