MICROSOFT 365 COPILOT COWORK
From to-dos to done
Describe the outcome you want. Copilot Cowork grounds on your work context, then plans, executes, and delivers real work across your systems and apps.
HOW IT WORKS
Delegate real work to Copilot Cowork
Set multiple tasks in motion, add guidance anytime, and keep work moving while you’re away—with checkpoints that keep you in control.
- Designed for the multi-step, time-intensive work that used to bog you down—ask hard questions and schedule tasks to recur.
- With Work IQ, Cowork reasons over email, meetings, files and more, then taps Fabric, Dynamics 365, and plugins to ground answers in business systems.
- Cowork checks in as it works—pausing for approval before sending an email or making a big update—with security, compliance, and observability built in.
- Cowork works inside the Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Fabric apps you run on—and plugins extend it to partner tools and your own systems.
- For every task, Cowork picks the model best suited for the job, so you get the task done without having to think about which engine is running under the hood.
- Assign tasks to Cowork anywhere—your commute, between meetings, away from your desk. Your laptop can stay closed, the work will be ready when you are.
