With Wave 2, Microsoft 365 Copilot isn’t just helping us work better—it’s starting to change how work actually happens. These new capabilities go beyond individual productivity. They bring AI directly into the center of how teams collaborate, make decisions, and move business forward.
This release introduces Copilot Pages, Python integration in Excel, more advanced Teams and Outlook experiences, and fully autonomous agents that operate in the background. Copilot is no longer just software—it’s becoming infrastructure for the way modern work flows.
Copilot Pages: A New Surface for Collaborative AI Work
Copilot Pages reimagines how we collaborate with AI and each other. It’s a dynamic, persistent canvas where you and your team can co-create content with Copilot in real time—seeing each other’s changes, making edits, and turning fleeting AI output into lasting, editable documents.
Instead of one-off replies or buried meeting notes, Pages turns AI interactions into reusable business knowledge. This is the first real step toward multiplayer AI workflows, where human–AI–human collaboration happens fluidly, side-by-side.
Python in Excel: Advanced Analytics, No Coding Required
The new Copilot + Python integration in Excel means anyone can now perform forecasting, risk analysis, or machine learning using plain language.
You don’t need to write code—Copilot leverages Python behind the scenes to deliver powerful data insights and custom visualizations.
From now on, Excel isn’t just for formulas. It’s for anyone who wants to ask smarter questions about their business and get meaningful answers—fast.
Copilot Agents: From Assistant to Autonomous Teammate
With Wave 2, Copilot agents arrive—not just to help you, but to actually take work off your plate. Agents are AI-powered workers that can understand context, remember past actions, handle exceptions, and even learn from feedback.
Need to automate a multi-step process or turn SharePoint knowledge into smart decisions? Agents can do that. And with Agent Builder, anyone—not just developers—can create agents directly inside BizChat or SharePoint, then deploy them in Teams or Outlook like real teammates.
You can tag them, message them, and collaborate with them like you would with a colleague.
This isn’t just automation—it’s augmentation at scale.
Copilot Just Got Smarter Across the Microsoft 365 Suite
It’s not just about what’s new. Existing Copilot integrations are also getting major upgrades:
Outlook: Copilot can now prioritize your inbox based on message content and your role—explaining why each email matters and summarizing it instantly.
Teams: It reads both transcripts and chat content to find questions or comments you missed, so no contribution is lost.
PowerPoint: Narrative Builder helps you co-create structured presentations fast, while Brand Manager ensures everything stays on-brand using templates and approved visuals.
Word: Pull in content from documents, emails, or meetings and collaborate inline with Copilot suggestions and smart prompts.
OneDrive: Without opening any files, Copilot can compare and summarize documents, highlighting key differences and insights.
This Is More Than a Productivity Update. It’s a Shift in Workflow.
Microsoft’s second Copilot wave signals a bigger change:
AI isn’t just helping with tasks—it’s shaping how work flows, how decisions are made, and how knowledge is captured.
This isn’t theory. It’s happening today.
Vodafone rolled out Copilot to 68,000 employees. Teladoc saved up to 5 hours per week per support agent. At Honeywell, Copilot users saved 74 hours a year.
This is no longer optional.
Copilot isn’t a tool you install. It’s the way you work now.
