If you have used Copilot, you have seen how quickly it can help you find an answer or draft an email. The next step is just as important: turning that intent into real actions across Microsoft 365.
Over the last year, we have been pushing Copilot toward taking action. That means completing tasks, running workflows, and doing work on your behalf.
Copilot Cowork is built for that: it helps Copilot take action, not just chat.
Cowork makes it easy to delegate work. Describe the outcome you want and Cowork automatically grounds the work in your emails, meetings, messages, files, and data. Powered by Work IQ, Cowork draws on signals across Outlook, Teams, Excel, and the rest of Microsoft 365 so it can act with the same understanding you bring to your job.
When you hand off a task to Cowork, it turns your request into a plan. The plan continues in the background, with clear checkpoints so you can confirm progress, make changes, or pause execution at any time. Cowork checks in if it needs clarification. You can see any actions that it is recommending, then approve changes before they are applied. Copilot works independently without you giving up control.
