In the last month, people have been using Copilot Cowork to do amazing things – from building inbox workflows to sales campaigns. And I’m excited to share three big updates to help you accomplish even more: 1) mobile on iOS and Android so you can delegate work from anywhere, 2) skills to help you reuse and scale how work is done and 3) new plugins + connectors to bring your data into the flow of work.

I’ve been testing these updates out – here’s a quick demo of how I’ve been using mobile in my daily work.

Introducing Critique, a new multi-model deep research system in M365 Copilot.

You can use multiple models together to generate optimal responses and reports.

Super excited about GPT-5.2 from our partners at OpenAI. Making it natively part of the Microsoft tools people use every day along with your work data helps all the new model capabilities shine.

The pace of progress continues to accelerate. GPT‑5.2 brings together GPT-5.2 Thinking—built for solving harder problems, long-context reasoning, coding, spreadsheets, and presentations; and GPT-5.2 Instant—an efficient model for everyday writing, translation, and skill-building.

Copilot just got smarter! Starting today, we're rolling out the latest GPT-5.2 model from our partners at OpenAI to consumer @Copilot, coming first to Microsoft 365 Premium users. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Today we’re introducing Teams Mode for Microsoft 365 Copilot - bringing the power of Copilot to where collaboration happens in #MicrosoftTeams.

Hey Copilot! Show everyone how we’re transforming how you interact with your Windows PC — so you can talk naturally, it can see what you see, and take action on your behalf.

Today we’re expanding Microsoft 365 Copilot with the addition of Anthropic’s Claude models. Customers can now use both OpenAI and Claude — starting in Researcher and Copilot Studio, and coming to more experiences soon.

Our multi-model approach goes beyond choice. It's all about bringing the best AI from across the industry to Copilot, tuned for work and tailored to every business.

Our Researcher agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot never ceases to amaze me.

It can reason over all your work data, like chats, meetings, files and emails, plus web data, to generate a comprehensive research report that helps you prep for a meeting, analyze trends, or build a strategy. I use it all the time.

Here’s an example:

It’s been a few weeks since we brought GPT-5 to Microsoft 365 Copilot, and it’s quickly become part of my everyday workflow, adding a new layer of intelligence spanning all my apps.

Here are 5 prompts that show what’s now possible:

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

Today, GPT-5 launches across our platforms, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Azure AI Foundry.

It's the most capable model yet from our partners at OpenAI, bringing powerful new advances in reasoning, coding, and chat, all trained on Azure.

It’s hard to believe it’s only been two and a half years since @sama joined us in Redmond to show the world GPT-4 for the first time in Bing, and it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come since that moment.

The pace of progress is only accelerating, and I can’t wait to see what developers, enterprises, and consumers will do with this latest breakthrough. https://t.co/uWijdptnga

No MFA? No deal. 🙅🏻

If your service provider doesn’t support multi-factor authentication (MFA), consider switching to a competitor that gives your data the extra layer of protection it needs.

This is a monumental shift in AI. We’re moving from a world of imitation learning (with SFT), to reward learning (with RL). AI that not just creatively imitates images and language but truly invents new strategies and insights.
