Microsoft 365 Copilot gets major update: Cowork Feature, multi-model research and more

Microsoft has announced a bunch of new features for Microsoft 365 Copilot, its AI-powered work assistant. These features include a new task tool built on Anthropic’s Claude technology, a smarter research feature that pits multiple AI models against each other for better results and a side-by-side model comparison tool that lets users see how different AIs approach the same question.

The updates, part of what Microsoft is calling Wave 3 of Microsoft 365 Copilot, are available now through the company’s early access Frontier programme, the company announced.
