Microsoft Launches Copilot Cowork Powered by Anthropic's Claude

Microsoft just made its biggest move yet toward AI agents that actually do work instead of just suggesting it. Copilot Cowork, announced today, lets users describe an outcome - "prepare the board deck with Q1 financials and email the team" - and the system breaks it down into steps, runs them across Outlook, Teams, and Excel, and checks in when it needs approval.
