Microsoft exec details Copilot's Home, Code and Autopilot
In a Microsoft-partnered Q&A with The Rundown AI, Microsoft Copilot EVP Jacob Andreou described a rebuilt Copilot organized around three capabilities—Home, Code and Autopilot—pitched as an “OS for work.” Andreou said Microsoft had put Copilot into several Windows apps, then pulled back after finding those entry points brought traffic but little value, and argued current models lack product form factors to unlock their value. He also described Copilot letting users choose a specific model while Auto routes tasks, and said he uses Autopilot as his primary email interface; these are Microsoft-side claims from the sponsored interview.
Microsoft says cutting Copilot entry points raised usage per user, offering a counterexample to the rush to embed AI in every product; the claim comes from Microsoft in a sponsored interview.
