Copilot Tasks: From Answers to Actions
Microsoft introduced Copilot Tasks, an AI feature designed to complete work rather than only chat, marking what the company calls the shift from answers to actions. Tasks works in the background with its own computer and browser, across apps and services, and reports back when done. Microsoft launched it as a research preview to a small group of users, with tasks that can run once, on a schedule, or recurring, and built-in consent steps before meaningful actions.
Key Takeaways
- Conversational chatbots were the first chapter of AI.
- Today is the beginning of the second.
We are excited to introduce Copilot Tasks - AI that doesn't just talk to you, but works for you.
- This is a moment we've been building toward since we first launched Copilot: the shift from chat to actions .
- You describe what you need in natural language.
- Tell Copilot what you need, and it will figure out how to make it happen: browsing the web, coordinating across apps, creating documents, managing your schedule, sending emails, contacting businesses, and taking action in the real world.
AI that's in your corner, working in the background, knocking out your to-do list with its own computer and browser. Copilot Tasks is designed for everyone, not just developers or enterprises. Starting today, we're launching a research preview to a small group of users so we can learn and refine with real-world feedback.
Over the coming weeks, we'll continue to add more people into the preview before our broad launch. You describe what you need in natural language. Copilot plans and goes to work.
You adjust or refine as needed. Tasks works in the background, with its own computer and browser, across various apps and services, and reports back when it's done. Tasks can be recurring, scheduled, or run once based on your needs.
It's a copilot, working with you, always giving you control of the final decision. Tasks is designed to ask for consent before taking meaningful actions like spending money or sending a message on your behalf. You can review, pause, or cancel a task at any time.
