Microsoft reveals Copilot Pages, integrates more AI into flagship products

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) released what it’s calling the Wave 2 of Copilot, as the software titan integrates artificial intelligence features further into its mainstay products.

“Copilot brings info from the web, puts it on a canvas, and allows you to share and collaborate with your co-workers,” said Jared Spataro, corporate vice president of AI at work at Microsoft, during a company announcement this morning. “It quickly pulls info from the web and into the canvas to save steps”

“Pages is an entirely new way to work,” he added. “Web data and work data come together in Pages. It is designed for multi-player, AI collaboration.”

Microsoft also added Copilot features across its Microsoft 365 apps, including Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Word, OneDrive and Outlook. Many of these new features will be generally available today for Microsoft 365 Copilot subscribers. Others will be released in the weeks ahead.

Copilot agents were also revealed.

“They come in all shapes and sizes,” Spataro said. “They can reason, be trained and even know when to ask for help. Some are completely autonomous and can orchestrate other agents.”

Copilot Studio can now be utilized to build custom agents.

“These agents can draw from valuable data in SharePoint, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or your line of business systems, and help Copilot become significantly smarter about your business and its processes,” the company said. “You can also expand the capabilities of agents by equipping them with new skills, such as sending emails, updating records, or creating support tickets.”

“This is just the beginning of Wave 2,” Spataro added. “We have so much more to show you in the next two months.”
