Work rarely happens in neat lines. It moves across apps, tasks, teams, and the shifting realities of the day. We’ve redesigned the Copilot app and how Copilot shows up across Microsoft 365 apps to better move with it: cleaner, faster, and in the flow of your work. 

From the start, our goal wasn’t to simply layer AI onto familiar tools, but to use it in ways that help you move more directly from intention to outcome. Shaped by your feedback, the new designs shift Copilot toward a more connected, adaptive system by turning a once static text box—the prompt line—into a task-aware workspace.  

Now, within the Copilot app, the prompt line gives you more space to express your needs, while below it, Copilot surfaces tools and controls to assist with the task at hand. We’ve also created a single, flexible entry point for Copilot across Microsoft 365 apps that suggests relevant actions to help you in your work.
