100-word summary
Press reports suggest Microsoft reorganized its Copilot teams in mid-March to unify consumer and commercial product strategy, though the company hasn't formally confirmed details. The timing aligns with a broader shift: Copilot is moving from chat assistant to task executor. New "Copilot Cowork" features let the AI book meetings, edit documents, and coordinate across Microsoft 365 apps without waiting for your approval. A new Agent Store now lets IT teams publish custom Copilot tools from Azure directly into employees' workflows with one click. The real change isn't the org chart. It's that Copilot will soon do your busy work, not just suggest how to do it.
