Microsoft Launches Copilot Cowork Based on Claude Cowork, Expanding Enterprise Agent Business

Odaily News Microsoft (MSFT.O) on Monday launched Copilot Cowork, a product based on Claude Cowork. Claude Cowork has garnered attention in Silicon Valley for its ability to handle complex tasks with minimal human supervision. Microsoft is betting that its long-established relationships with enterprise customers and its emphasis on security and data control will help win over enterprise clients who are interested in AI agents but concerned about the lack of security safeguards. Jared Spataro, who leads Microsoft's "AI at Work" business, stated: "We only operate in cloud environments and work exclusively on behalf of users. Therefore, you can know exactly what information it (Copilot Cowork) can access." Copilot Cowork is currently in testing and will be made available to early users later this month. The company did not disclose specific pricing but indicated that some usage will be included in its M365 Copilot subscription for enterprises, priced at $30 per user per month, with additional usage available for purchase.
