Microsoft revamps Copilot with code generation, agentic AI tools

Sept 25 (Reuters) - ⁠Microsoft on Friday unveiled several new capabilities in its Copilot app, ⁠including a coding tool and an always-on AI agent, as the software ‌giant seeks to transform its AI assistant into a one-stop shop for office workers.

The company is also embedding its Office applications Word, Excel, and PowerPoint directly within Copilot, allowing users to work collaboratively on these apps without having to leave ⁠the AI tool.

Shares of the Redmond, ⁠Washington-based company rose about 3% in early trading.

Microsoft is racing to expand Copilot ⁠beyond ‌its chat-based roots to boost adoption as it competes with AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude.

The Windows maker unveiled "Code" to let users ⁠build apps, dashboards and other software using natural language prompts. The tool, powered by ‌the same technology as Microsoft's GitHub Copilot, will roll out to ⁠early-access customers at the end of the month, while 365 Premium and Pro subscribers can preview it later this year.

Microsoft is also rolling out "Autopilot", a revamp of the "Scout" AI agent it unveiled ⁠in June, in a private preview at the end of the month. The so-called digital coworker agent will carry its own identity in the company directory and have specific permissions that users can control.

"I think it's ⁠been very hard for many organizations to bring agents into the enterprise because of security, compliance and governance concerns," Annie Pearl, corporate vice president of Copilot Product, said in an interview.

"So we've worked... to make sure that we were building this in a way that would really be able ⁠to be used in the enterprise."

Microsoft also unveiled cost-management capabilities to allow employees to have direct insight into costs tied to their ‌AI usage. The move comes at a time when enterprises are increasingly worried about rapid AI usage racking up unexpected costs.

9 月 25 日（路透社）——微软周五在其 Copilot 应用中推出了几项新功能，包括编码工具和始终在线的 AI 代理，这家软件巨头正寻求将其 AI 助手转变为办公人员的一站式服务平台。

该公司还将 Office 应用程序 Word、Excel 和 PowerPoint 直接嵌入到 Copilot 中，使用户无需离开 AI 工具即可协作使用这些应用程序。

这家总部位于华盛顿州雷德蒙德的公司股价在早盘交易中上涨了约 3%。

微软正竞相将 Copilot 的功能扩展到聊天功能之外，以提高其普及率，从而与 ChatGPT 和 Claude 等 AI 聊天机器人展开竞争。

Windows 制造商微软发布了名为“Code”的工具，使用户能够通过自然语言提示构建应用程序、仪表板和其他软件。该工具采用与微软 GitHub Copilot 相同的技术，将于本月底面向早期用户推出，而 Office 365 Premium 和 Pro 订阅用户则可在今年晚些时候预览该工具。

微软还将在本月底推出“自动驾驶”（Autopilot）功能，这是对其6月份发布的“侦察兵”（Scout）人工智能代理的升级版。这款所谓的数字同事代理将在公司目录中拥有自己的身份，并拥有用户可以控制的特定权限。
