The latest iteration focuses on &#8220;agentic AI&#8221;\u2014features that let the assistant execute multi-step tasks rather than just answering questions. A new &#8220;Copilot Cowork&#8221; function can now orchestrate entire workflows, like preparing for customer meetings, integrating technology from Anthropic&#8217;s Claude.<\/p>\n<p>For McGibney, whose background is business rather than scientific, Copilot serves as a knowledge bridge. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have an expertise in science,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;So, I need to find a way to quickly get up to speed in certain details on market dynamics, or in some of the latest processing techniques because I&#8217;m speaking with scientists or I&#8217;m making investment decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has been aggressively expanding Copilot&#8217;s capabilities since the November 2023 enterprise launch. February 2026 brought quick actions in Outlook, the ability to draft emails directly in Copilot Chat, and agent creation from SharePoint files. Wave 2 had previously added collaboration tools across the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s stock has remained relatively stable, trading at $409.41 as of March 9, 2026, with a market cap of $3.04 trillion. Enterprise AI adoption remains a key growth driver as Microsoft competes with Google and emerging players for corporate AI spend.<\/p>\n<p>McGibney&#8217;s use case\u2014rapid document synthesis for M&amp;A decisions\u2014represents exactly the high-stakes scenario Microsoft is targeting. Whether the $30 monthly fee delivers consistent ROI at scale remains the question enterprise buyers are still answering.<\/p>\n<p><span><i>Image source: Shutterstock<\/i><\/span> <!-- Divider --> <!-- Author info END --> <!-- Divider --> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockchain.news\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caroline Bishop Mar 10, 2026 14:39 Kerry Group exec reveals how Microsoft&#8217;s AI assistant cut 86-page document review from hours to 90 minutes as new agentic features hit enterprise customers.
