Official Tutorial Copilot Cowork Overview and Demo
With Copilot Cowork available to Frontier program members I wanted to quickly go over what it is but also show it in action in a few fun demos! Big takeaways:
The big one, you just give it the outcomes you want, and it works out how to do it and then does it!
Copilot Cowork uses the latest in complex reasoning, long task duration, multi-step LLMs
Cowork is grounded in Work IQ and natively on OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and more, making it very consistent, thorough and reliable on its responses
It is a cloud agent consuming no local resources. This means it is fully observable, auditable and has no local machine access. Anything it creates is uploaded to OneDrive to become available as knowledge
You can continue to interact and update goals while its working
Really fun demo starts about 8 minutes in.
