Microsoft's dueling Copilot apps have combined into a single entity
Consumer and work experiences converge, while a few features face the chop
Microsoft has unified its consumer Copilot app and Microsoft 365 Copilot into a single Copilot superapp, effective August 18. The new app aims to simplify the app ecosystem and provide a more cohesive experience for both consumer and business users. The unified Copilot app brings the Copilot bot, image generation features, Microsoft 365 suite, files, and other content together.
Users with a personal account will be moved to an updated version of Copilot, while Microsoft 365 Copilot subscribers may notice updates to appearance and navigation. Some features, such as Podcasts and Group Chat, have been abandoned, and Deep Research capabilities have been preserved in chat history for certain subscribers. The unified Copilot app will feature a new branding, changes in appearance and functionality like navigation and feature availability, and a unified sign-in experience.
Users will still be able to access free features such as chatting, creating images, and uploading files, but higher limits for these features will require a Microsoft 365 subscription.
