- Microsoft plans to merge its Copilot consumer and enterprise AI apps into a unified offering.
- The consolidated app will include advanced AI coding tools and new “AutoPilot” agents, which are always-on automation features that will require additional payments.
- To streamline Copilot, Microsoft is removing underused features from its existing enterprise offerings.
- The company aims to convince customers to pay extra for the new add-ons through feature refinements.
- Microsoft has formed a $2.5 billion AI consultancy business, dubbed the Microsoft Frontier Company, to deploy industry and engineering experts for AI co-design and innovation with customers.
- This move echoes similar strategies from competitors like Amazon, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
- Research indicates that AI platform users at workplaces are likely to adopt the same platform for personal tasks, which benefits enterprise AI investments in the long run.
