M365 Perspective

Microsoft has begun merging the consumer Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps into one, with a new icon and URL — and Recall exclusions won't carry over. Plus containment guidance for autonomous agents, 30 million paid Copilot seats, and two device deadlines.

Microsoft's FY26 year-end results revealed over 30 million paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats, net seat adds more than doubling quarter over quarter, and nearly 40 million agents registered in Agent 365.

Microsoft's new financial year opens with the $2.5B Microsoft Frontier Company, Copilot Cowork going GA on consumption-only pricing (one task hit $237 in preview), GPT-5.6 with Work IQ as the preferred Copilot model, the Teams Phone Agent auto-attendant, and the InfoComm rooms and devices news…

Copilot Cowork hit worldwide GA on 16 June with consumption-only billing at $0.01 per Copilot Credit, while Ilya Bukshteyn's InfoComm keynote unveiled Teams Phone Agent, agent-to-agent handoffs and Facilitator in every Teams Room.

Microsoft Scout is official — Microsoft's first "Autopilot", a persistent desktop agent forked from OpenClaw. Plus a Copilot Super App merging Chat, Cowork, Code and Autopilot, Work IQ APIs going GA on 16th June with consumption pricing up to $1.50 per call, and Claude Fable 5 landing in Copilot…

Microsoft Build 2026 could reveal ClawPilot, Microsoft's OpenClaw-inspired always-on agent, while Copilot Vision brings screen and camera sharing to voice sessions from late June — on by default.

Microsoft 365 E7 hits GA at $99 per user per month, bundling E5, Copilot, Agent 365 and the Entra Suite. Copilot Cowork gains Claude Opus 4.7, mobile, skills and plugins, Copilot call delegation lands in Frontier, and Teams moves under LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky.
