Meet Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork
What happens when you state an outcome and the work comes back done? This video introduces Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork, an AI-powered agent that plans multi-step tasks, carries them out across your Microsoft 365 apps, and delivers completed work. Watch the video to see how Cowork moves from a stated outcome to a finished result inside the apps your people already use.
What is Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork?
Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork is an AI-powered assistant built into the Microsoft 365 environment that helps you move work from to-dos to done. Instead of just giving you suggestions, it’s designed to plan, execute, and deliver real work across your day-to-day tasks.
Because it’s part of Microsoft 365, it works alongside the tools you already use, helping you describe the outcome you want and then coordinating the steps needed to get there.
How does Copilot Cowork help me get work done?
With Copilot Cowork, you start by describing the outcome you want in natural language—for example, a project plan, a summary, or a set of action items. From there, Copilot Cowork helps:
- Plan – It interprets your goals and outlines the work needed.
- Execute – It assists with creating content, organizing tasks, and moving items forward.
- Deliver – It helps you turn those plans and drafts into finished outputs you can share with your team.
The idea is to reimagine how you move through your workload, so you spend less time on manual steps and more time on decisions and strategy.
What is Work IQ in Copilot Cowork?
Copilot Cowork is powered by Work IQ, which is the intelligence layer that helps it understand and manage real work, not just isolated tasks. Work IQ enables Copilot Cowork to:
- Grasp the context behind your to-dos and projects.
- Connect related pieces of work so plans, execution, and delivery stay aligned.
- Support a more connected, end-to-end way of working across Microsoft 365.
In practice, this helps your organization rethink how work flows—from initial idea to completed deliverable—using AI that understands the structure and context of your day-to-day activities.
