Copilot Cowork is the centerpiece of what Microsoft is calling "Wave 3" of Microsoft 365 Copilot - a sweeping platform update that also brings agentic capabilities directly into individual Office apps, makes Anthropic's Claude models available in mainline Copilot Chat, and introduces new enterprise pricing tiers designed to bundle AI productivity with security and governance.
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.
Copilot Cowork is currently being tested with a limited set of customers in Research Preview. You can find updates and more information on the Copilot Cowork: A new way of getting work done page.
