Microsoft gives Copilot another makeover, adding an Autopilot agent and usage-based billing
Microsoft has restructured its Copilot app into three sections and introduced a new agent called Autopilot, built on OpenClaw, that runs continuously in the cloud to monitor Teams and complete tasks independently; both Autopilot and Code sections are shifting to usage-based billing.
Why it matters
This redesign transforms Copilot from a reactive chatbot into a proactive AI agent and marks a significant shift away from Microsoft's AI subsidy model toward direct usage costs.
