  • A five-person team vs. Copilot: Who is more efficient? We tasked both with summarizing a 3,000-word technical report in 200 words. Here's how efficiently they completed the task: Five-person team: Spent a median of 41 minutes and 13.7 watt-hours (Wh) of laptop energy to complete the task. Copilot: Completed the same task in under a minute, consuming only 0.29 Wh of datacenter energy (55 times faster and 47 times more energy-efficient). Read more about the experiment in our “Strategic Guide: Aligning AI Transformation with Sustainability Goals.”

  • Dragon Copilot taps into Microsoft Cloud innovation to deliver patient insights where care teams need them most. Discover what's new.

  • Today’s announcement marks a major step in helping organizations move AI from experimentation to durable, enterprise‑wide impact, grounded in two essentials: intelligence and trust. With Microsoft 365 E7, new agentic Copilot experiences, expanded model diversity, and Agent 365, customers can build, govern, and scale AI securely across their environments. This is how AI becomes operational infrastructure that drives real business outcomes.

    Today we announced major steps forward in empowering our customers—grounded in what we believe are the two most essential elements of Frontier Transformation: Intelligence + Trust. Organizations need to harness their own unique work intelligence as they build agents and solutions; and all AI artifacts across their technology stack must be observed, managed, and secured to ensure they are delivering value responsibly. With this as a foundation, we can help them move AI from experimentation to durable, enterprise-wide impact that delivers real business outcomes and growth. I am pleased to share several important aspects of this news: General availability of Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite on May 1 for $99 per user. Microsoft 365 E7 unifies Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Agent 365 into a single solution powered by Work IQ—our intelligence layer that amplifies an individual’s IQ by tapping into an organization’s IQ—and integrated with the apps and security stack customers already rely on. It includes Entra Suite and advanced Defender, Intune, and Purview security capabilities, delivering comprehensive protection across agents and employees. New agentic experiences in Wave 3 of Microsoft 365 Copilot rolling out in March. Beyond a singular release of new capabilities, this is a commitment to continuous innovation—bringing frontier capabilities with enterprise promise to our customers in an open and model diverse manner. Copilot can now reason, plan, and act directly inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app—completing multistep tasks end to end right in the flow of work. Expanded model diversity with Claude and next-gen Open AI models available today. Microsoft 365 is model diverse by design. Copilot leverages leading models from Anthropic and OpenAI, operating openly across clouds and data services without locking customers in—and now Claude is available in mainline chat in Copilot. Copilot Cowork. Built in close collaboration with Anthropic, we are bringing the technology that powers Claude Cowork into Microsoft 365 Copilot to enable long-running, multi-step work that unfolds over time. It is currently being piloted with select customers and will become available as a research preview in March through the Frontier program. General availability of Microsoft Agent 365 on May 1 for $15 per user. As the control plane for AI agents, Agent 365 gives IT and security leaders a single place to observe, govern, manage, and secure agents across an organization—using the same infrastructure, applications, and protections they rely on to manage people. With intelligence grounded in work and trust built in by design, we are helping organizations unlock human ambition and organizational aspirations on their journey to becoming Frontier. https://lnkd.in/giDs5Qca
