Microsoft launched a redesigned Copilot on September 25, 2026, introducing three capability layers, Home, Code, and Autopilot, that restructure the product from a chat assistant into an agentic work platform. The move targets the top enterprise AI priorities: 55.1% of decision-makers (n=820) cite productivity improvements as their primary AI success metric [3], and 51.7% identify knowledge management as a leading generative AI use case [2]. With a new dual-pricing model and spend controls, Microsoft is positioning to address both the fixed-cost productivity segment and the high-value agentic compute segment of a market forecast at a base-case $181.3B in 2026, growing to $496.9B by 2030 at a 28.7% CAGR [6].
