Microsoft is combining its Copilot apps ahead of a ‘super app’

The Verge
Microsoft is merging its consumer and commercial Copilot apps into a single unified application as it prepares to launch a future 'super app'.

Summary

Microsoft is beginning to combine its consumer and commercial Copilot AI assistants into a single unified interface, laying the technical groundwork for an upcoming 'super app' planned for later this year. The update merges the Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps under the 'Microsoft Copilot' name with an updated icon, streamlining access and reducing system tray clutter. While personal and work accounts will be accessible within the same app, their data, chats, and enterprise security controls will remain strictly separated. The global rollout for mobile and web begins in mid-August, followed by Windows and Mac in mid-September. Meanwhile, specific features like Podcasts, Deep Research, and Group Chat threads will be retired or unavailable starting August 18th.
