Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) is reportedly building a unified Copilot super app to consolidate its growing portfolio of AI products into a single destination.
Microsoft's ‘One Copilot' Strategy Targets Fragmented AI Experience
The Satya Nadella-led company is internally developing a centralized app under the slogan "Delivering one Copilot" that would combine GitHub Copilot, Copilot chat, Copilot Cowork and a new agentic workflow capability internally referred to as Autopilot, Fortune reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The initiative is being led by Jacob Andreou, Microsoft's recently appointed head of Copilot, whose mandate includes bringing together the company's consumer and enterprise AI offerings into a more cohesive experience.
The app is expected to function as a central hub where users can access multiple Copilot services, including workplace-focused Microsoft 365 Copilot tools, while potentially offering a toggle between personal and enterprise accounts.
Users would still be able to access Copilot services independently outside the app.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comments.
Why Microsoft Is Reworking Its Copilot AI Strategy
The move comes as Microsoft faces criticism over an increasingly fragmented Copilot ecosystem and slower-than-expected adoption.
Fewer than 4.5% of Microsoft 365's roughly 450 million users currently pay for Copilot features, while GitHub Copilot has surpassed 4.7 million paid subscribers but faces increasing competition from rivals such as Cursor and Anthropic's Claude Code.
Microsoft's consumer chatbot efforts have also lagged behind competitors, while the company's reliance on OpenAI models and internal organizational splits has complicated its AI strategy.
Microsoft Build Conference Could Offer Early Hints
Sources said elements of the initiative may be referenced during next week's Build developer conference, though the app itself is not expected to be formally unveiled.
A launch is reportedly targeted by the end of summer, though plans remain subject to change.
Price Action: Shares closed Friday up 5.45% at $450.24 and the stock slipped 0.056% to $449.99 in after-hours trading, according to Benzinga Pro.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings place MSFT in the 93rd percentile for Quality, with the stock showing bullish signals over the short and medium term, while long-term indicators remain negative.
