And what about the concerns? The huge change in Microsoft's AI tools

Microsoft unveils a comprehensive upgrade to Copilot, including a unified Home interface for working in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, a Code tool for building applications in natural language, and an autonomous agent called Autopilot that performs routine tasks even at night. The price: $32 per month, with pay-per-use for agents and code tools. The move comes amid previous warnings from company executives about loss of control over AI.

Microsoft has announced a significant upgrade to its Copilot platform, which CEO Satya Nadella described as the biggest update in the service's history. The core of the upgrade is a new Home interface that unifies chat, collaboration, and programming tools into a single application. Users will be able to write documents in Word, edit budgets in Excel, and design presentations in PowerPoint directly from the unified interface without switching between programs. Additionally, a Code tool has been launched that allows even non-programmers to build applications, trackers, and dashboards using natural language, based on GitHub Copilot technology. The main innovation is the Autopilot tool – an independent agent capable of performing routine and complex tasks without repeated instructions, such as managing supplier reviews, building schedules, and contacting stakeholders. The tool runs continuously in the cloud, even at night. Alongside this, a Today feature was introduced that will summarize missed messages and tasks. The move comes amid previous warnings from co-founder Bill Gates about a possible loss of control over AI. The price will be $32 per month, with simple tasks remaining under a fixed subscription, but the use of independent agents and code tools will be based on pay-per-use. The Home and Code tools will begin rolling out in the coming weeks, and Autopilot will enter a private preview in October.
