Microsoft is developing an application that would combine its GitHub Copilot coding assistant, Copilot chat, Copilot Cowork, and an internal agentic workflow tool called Autopilot into one interface. Two people familiar with the project said the effort is intended to address customer complaints about switching between separate Copilot tools.
The same sources said the application would also allow users to toggle between personal and enterprise versions of Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Jacob Andreou, who was promoted in March to lead a unified Copilot team, is overseeing the work. Elements of the project may be referenced at the company's Build developer conference next week in San Francisco, though the application itself is not expected to be shown. The company plans to release the application by the end of summer. Microsoft declined to comment on the project.
Microsoft has offered multiple versions of Copilot, some free and some paid, which the sources said created confusion for users. 7 million paid subscribers. The company has faced competition in coding tools from Cursor and Anthropic's Claude Code, and its consumer chatbot trails OpenAI and Google in active users.
Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella promoted Andreou and created a single Copilot team in March as part of broader executive changes.
