Microsoft is turning Copilot from a chatbot into something closer to an always-on coworker inside Microsoft 365—and that changes who does the follow-up work when you’re not watching. Microsoft says its redesigned Copilot will center on Home, Code, and Autopilot.

That promise is powerful, but it also raises new questions about permissions, errors, and accountability. We break down what Microsoft actually announced, what “always-on” could mean in practice, and what to watch before you let an agent run loose.
