The new Microsoft Copilot app is getting the full Office experience — here's what you can look forward to from Word, Excel and more
Microsoft wants you to work from its Copilot app so badly that Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents are now fully supported within it.
Microsoft is rolling out significant upgrades to its Copilot app, integrating popular Office tools such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This strategic shift places the Office suite within the AI hub, aiming to redefine the future of work. Users can now create, edit, and collaborate on Office documents directly within Copilot, eliminating the need to navigate away to additional applications for further modifications.
The new app will serve as a central workspace, enabling users to interact with AI for document creation without having to exit the platform. A notable addition is the Library feature, which centralizes documents within the Copilot interface for seamless access. Collaboration remains a focal point, with users able to share, comment, and review documents within Copilot.
Microsoft's Office Product Group VP, Sumit Chauhan, emphasized the company's commitment to providing a unified experience for users, reflecting a broader effort to integrate Copilot into the core of the M365 ecosystem. Currently, this revamped Copilot app is available to Frontier customers in Chat and Cowork modes, with plans to expand its accessibility to more users in the near future.
