Microsoft reorders Copilot teams, freeing up AI chief for superintelligence push

Microsoft reorganised its Copilot teams by unifying commercial and consumer versions to improve its AI assistant’s adoption and remain competitive against rivals like Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude Cowork.
The restructuring allows AI chief Mustafa Suleyman to focus on developing new AI models and advancing the company’s superintelligence initiatives.
Jacob Andreou is appointed to lead Copilot across both consumer and commercial sectors, while Ryan Roslansky, Perry Clarke, and Charles Lamanna will oversee M365 apps and the Copilot platform.
Microsoft has experienced significant growth in its consumer Copilot experiences and its M365 Copilot service, which now boasts 15 million annual users.
The company has formed an MAI Superintelligence Team focusing on creating human-like AI in specific domains, such as medical diagnostics, to stay ahead in the AI race.
Despite Microsoft’s strong partnership with OpenAI, the latter now accounts for around 45% of Microsoft’s remaining performance obligation, indicating a significant dependency.
Microsoft introduced Copilot Cowork, a tool based on the praised Claude Cowork, which handles complex tasks with limited human intervention.
