Microsoft is preparing to launch a super app for its AI assistant Copilot. “Copilot is evolving rapidly from chat to Cowork to autopilots,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in the company’s earnings call on Wednesday. “And this quarter, we are bringing these Copilot experiences together, including Code, in one super app spanning both consumer and commercial experiences. This is a major step forward, and I look forward to sharing more soon.” “Super apps” that combine chatbots and AI agents are all the rage, and the AI industry believes they are the direction in which AI chatbots and other consumer-facing products are naturally evolving. OpenAI, for example, has been hinting towards a ChatGPT super app for almost a year now. “Chat is dead,” one anonymous senior OpenAI staffer told the Financial Times last month, in a report that claimed the chatbot was preparing to soon undergo its biggest overhaul since its launch to become a super app. The AI giant unveiled a version of that for employees earlier this month, a similar offering to Anthropic’s Claude Cowork, which recently merged with the Claude chatbot. Super app ambitions go beyond just AI, too, with Elon Musk’s ambitions to turn X into an “everything app” and similar endeavors from the likes of Uber and Airbnb.
