Microsoft is merging Copilot and Copilot 365 into one unified app - and retiring 3 features
The move should cut down on the confusion between the two apps, especially for anyone who bounces back and forth between the two of them.
Microsoft is simplifying its AI offerings by merging Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot into a single unified app, with the transition beginning in mid-September. Users will be able to sign in using their personal, work, or school accounts, streamlining access to email, calendar, and cloud-based services. The new app will maintain access to all current standard Copilot features, such as asking questions, generating images, uploading files, and chatting in text or voice format.
While the transition aims to reduce clutter and confusion, some features are being retired. These include group chats, podcasts, and Deep Research mode. Users are encouraged to migrate their chat history and content to the new unified app before August 18. Microsoft promises that work and personal environments will remain separate, with no data flowing between them. The unified Copilot app is expected to provide a smoother experience for users as they transition between personal and work accounts.
