Microsoft just shipped its first big AI agent inside the Office tools you already pay for.
Here's the thing. The companies that win the next two years of AI won't be whoever buys the most licenses. They'll be whoever gets their team to actually use the tools.

For three years I've been telling our clients that Microsoft Copilot wasn't worth the $20/user/month. That just changed, and the reason has very little to do with Microsoft.
On March 9, Microsoft shipped Copilot Cowork. Same name as the product Anthropic launched eight weeks earlier. Built in close collaboration with Anthropic, on Anthropic's models. Microsoft did not even rebrand it.
A few weeks after that, Microsoft restructured its OpenAI partnership. The exclusive license became non-exclusive. Satya Nadella told Wall Street on the next earnings call that Microsoft now has "the broadest model selection of any hyperscaler."
In plain English: Microsoft has stopped trying to win the AI model race. They are going to be the platform you run any frontier AI on, including models built by their competitors. The Copilot you have been paying for is finally worth the spend, but the engine inside it is Anthropic's.
If you have Microsoft 365 Copilot in your business, there is a real reason to revisit it now. We wrote up the full picture and the three tenant settings most admins have wrong:
