Overview
Microsoft is tracked in LLMWIKI's News index. This feed presents Microsoft's recent AI-related announcements in reverse-chronological, timeline form — built for scanning quickly rather than reading as a narrative. For fuller context on why each item matters, see the linked company news summary above.
Each entry below is tagged by type (Launch, Update, Report, Partnership, or Research) so you can scan for the kind of news you're actually looking for rather than reading the full list top to bottom.
Timeline
Consumer and enterprise Copilot apps to merge
Microsoft is combining its consumer and enterprise Copilot apps into one, alongside new paid "AutoPilot" agents designed to run continuously and automate routine tasks, according to an internal memo reported by The Information.
Copilot Cowork reaches general availability
Copilot Cowork, Microsoft's feature for completing full business tasks rather than just answering prompts, went GA with GPT-5.5 Thinking model selection, support for an Anthropic model on visual work, browser automation, and mobile support.
Enterprise Copilot adoption reportedly under pressure
Analytics firm Recon Analytics reported Copilot's paid enterprise subscriber share fell from 18.8% in July 2025 to 11.5% by January 2026, with Google's Gemini overtaking it in paid enterprise share during the same period.
Microsoft 365 Copilot feature updates
Word, PowerPoint, and Excel all received updates: model switching and in-document image generation in Word, a Brand Kit Picker and SharePoint-based deck building in PowerPoint, and reusable Skills with workbook Rules in Excel.
AI content watermarking added
A new policy setting lets organizations add visible or audio watermarks to AI-generated video and audio content created through Microsoft 365, aimed at transparency.
Nine Entertainment deal in Australia
Microsoft struck a first-of-its-kind Australian deal with Nine Entertainment to let Copilot reference Nine's full journalism (not just paywalled previews) with attribution, grounding outputs in licensed news content.
About This Feed
This feed focuses specifically on Microsoft's AI-related product and business news — model launches, feature updates, pricing changes, and significant reported developments — rather than general company news unrelated to AI. Items are sourced from Microsoft's own announcements as well as reporting from established technology and business outlets, and each entry is paraphrased rather than quoted at length from its original source.
Considerations
Treat every item on this feed as a snapshot of what was publicly reported at the time it was added, not a live, continuously updated ticker. Specific figures, pricing, and benchmark claims reflect the company's or a news outlet's own reporting and haven't been independently re-verified by LLMWIKI.
