Microsoft partners with OpenAI’s rival Anthropic: What is Copilot Cowork?

Microsoft announced on Monday its new artificial intelligence (AI) offering, Copilot Cowork, in partnership with Anthropic.

What is Copilot Cowork?

Within Microsoft 365 (M365) Copilot, this cloud-based offering is designed to move beyond answering questions and drafting text. Instead, it focusses on executing tasks and workflows on the user’s behalf across Microsoft 365 apps. M365 Copilot is an AI-enabled tool integrated across Microsoft’s products, including apps like Teams, Word, PowerPoint, and OneDrive. These apps are now cloud-based, meaning they do not need to be installed separately on the system.
