Overview
- Reports published Friday say Microsoft is working on an unreleased “super app” that would unite GitHub Copilot, Copilot chat, Copilot Cowork and a new Autopilot workflow into one central interface.
- The project is being led by Jacob Andreou, who was promoted to run Copilot in March and charged with merging the consumer and enterprise Copilot teams into a single product.
- Sources say Microsoft could reference elements of the plan at its Build developer conference and is targeting a possible launch by the end of summer while the company has not confirmed details.
- The push follows weak paid uptake inside Microsoft 365—fewer than 4.5% of about 450 million seats pay for Copilot features—contrasted with roughly 4.7 million paid GitHub Copilot users.
- The effort reflects wider strategy shifts including a $13 billion partnership with OpenAI, work on Microsoft’s own models, and pressure from rivals such as OpenAI, Google and specialist startups that have grabbed users on mobile and in coding workflows.
