Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork and introduced a new agentic experience called Microsoft Scout. These Microsoft 365 Copilot tools automate complex, long-running tasks by leveraging organizational context and connected systems. The new features operate within existing enterprise security and compliance frameworks.

Microsoft is implementing a consumption-based pricing model using Copilot Credits for these advanced agents. This strategic shift aims to monetize the company's growing suite of artificial intelligence tools for enterprise customers. Market reports indicate no immediate reaction in Microsoft's stock price following the announcement.
