Microsoft & Anthropic bring Claude Cowork to Microsoft 365
Copilot Cowork brings long-running, multi‑step work into Microsoft 365 Copilot. It allows you to delegate meaningful work and stay in the loop as that work progresses. With Work IQ, it has the full context of your work, not just fragments of data, so it can reason over all relevant materials. With Cowork, tasks are no longer confined to a single turn or a single app - they can run for minutes or hours, coordinating actions and producing real outputs along the way - securely, inside Microsoft 365
Cowork builds competitive comparisons in Excel, distills differentiation into value proposition documents, generates customer pitch decks, outlines milestones and owners, and translates strategy into coordinated action with shareable assets
Cowork converts user requests into plans with clear checkpoints, allows users to confirm progress, make changes, or pause execution at any time, requests clarification when needed, and shows recommended actions for approval before applying changes
Cowork reviews Outlook schedules, identifies conflicts and low-value meetings, proposes rescheduling changes, and applies them automatically (accepting, declining, rescheduling meetings, adding focus blocks) once approved by the user
Cowork gathers earnings reports, SEC filings, analyst commentary, and news across web and work sources, organizes findings with citations, and packages results as an executive summary email, structured research memo, and labeled Excel workbook
Cowork pulls relevant inputs from email, meetings, and files, generates a connected set of deliverables (briefing document, supporting analysis, client-ready deck), schedules prep time, and drafts follow-up communications—all saved in Microsoft 365 for team collaboration
