@Copilot Skills are landing in Chat.

Yesterday at #UCXpo we talked about Copilot Skills across Agents, PowerPoint, and Excel – and how they’re becoming a consistent layer across the whole Copilot ecosystem.

If you’re still pasting the same instructions into every conversation, it’s time to start using skills.

Anyone can Create and share personal skills and your org can create and publish them for everyone.

Copilot will be able to automatically picks the right skill at the right moment.

Starting today, the full power of Microsoft Office is rolling out to the Copilot App in Frontier. We're bringing together the capabilities that your business runs on every day within Word, Excel and PowerPoint inside of the new OS for work.

This new experience supports your entire workflow, from the first prompt to the finishing touches. You can collaborate with others, use branded templates, and return to earlier iterations through version history as your work evolves. In the same workspace, you can choose from a robust library of frontier models or use the Auto router to match the right model to the task at hand.

@Dennis_Gaida @jacobandreou They are created in Copilot (if you like) but launch in the Copilot app, office Web apps or full apps..

How to Build an App in Copilot Cowork

Yes.... @Microsoft is bringing app creation deeper into @Copilot. As part of public preview, I have been playing around with this over the past few days and wanted to share a quick walk-through

[Rob Quickenden @rquickenden]

@Heathbn @Microsoft365 This is part of Microsoft 365 Copilot (not Windows) and is aimed at corporate users. Your org needs to be part of the Frontier preview at the moment too.
