Microsoft merges Copilot into one business-facing product
Microsoft is folding the consumer and workplace editions of Copilot into a single product aimed at corporate customers, a retreat from the standalone personal-assistant race against ChatGPT and Gemini. Coverage described the move as a distribution bet: the company is betting that bundling Copilot tightly into Microsoft 365 and enterprise workflows matters more than winning the consumer assistant market. Microsoft shares rose on the announcement.
