Microsoft is developing a single application that would combine several of its Copilot AI tools into one interface. The planned app would connect GitHub Copilot, the Copilot chat function, the Copilot Cowork tool, and a new agentic workflow feature internally named Autopilot.

The effort is being led by Jacob Andreou, who was recently appointed head of Copilot. One of his stated tasks is to merge the consumer and enterprise sides of Copilot into a single product.

Some elements of the app, developed under the internal slogan “Delivering one Copilot,” may be referenced at Microsoft’s Build developer conference next week in San Francisco. The full app itself is not scheduled for demonstration at that event. The company aims to launch the application by the end of summer.

Plans remain subject to change, according to two sources familiar with the project who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Microsoft has offered separate Copilot versions across consumer and enterprise products, including Microsoft 365 Copilot. The company has stated that customers have expressed difficulty switching between these tools. 5 percent of Microsoft 365 customers currently pay for Copilot features.

7 million paid subscribers at a starting price of $10 per month. Microsoft declined to comment on the project.
