What changes when agents become both a new unit of programming and an emerging new unit of human-to-machine interaction? The mission of Project Solara, a new software platform coupled with tailored hardware solutions, is to pioneer agent-first experiences that are shaped around you: your agents, your tasks, your environment, under your control. #MSBuild

We've redesigned Copilot to be simpler, faster, and more intuitive, to help keep you in the flow of your work.

As we move toward an AI-first design system, an early but essential part of that transformation is how Copilot in Office shows up.

Across apps. Across tasks. Across moments.

Not restarting every time you switch context.

Not waiting for perfect prompts.

Just present. Continuous. In flow.

As the thoughtful partner you need.

Conversation is the oldest interface we have, and it’s still one of the most powerful.

In our new story, we share how we redesigned the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app around a simple idea: when people are on the move, dialogue becomes the workspace 🗣️

A behind the scenes look at some of our latest icon work 👀

Dynamics 365 has been part of our design journey for a long time, and its refreshed icon reflects our ongoing commitment to building enterprise tools that feel clear and familiar 🤝

Copilot Studio on the other hand represents where we’re headed next. Its new icon connects to the Copilot family while opening space for more adaptive and intelligent agent experiences 🧠
