Microsoft combines Copilot apps into a unified interface

Microsoft is beginning to combine its consumer and commercial Copilot AI assistants into a single "super app" interface. This consolidation starts with the Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot applications, moving both personal and work accounts into the new, unified app.

The updated application will retain the "Microsoft Copilot" name and feature a revised app icon. The move to a single app aims to eliminate redundant Copilot icons from the taskbar or system tray.

"Starting with a fresh look, the updated app combines the best of Copilot chat and image creation, with the power of Microsoft 365 for your work," Microsoft stated in its announcement. The goal is to provide a seamless experience for both personal and professional tasks.

This integration is expected to simplify user access to AI functionalities and enhance their utility across different use cases. The update reflects Microsoft's broader strategy to deepen AI integration within its product ecosystem.
