Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman unveiled Copilot Tasks, a new capability designed to automate digital workflows. The system moves beyond conversational responses to actively complete background jobs on behalf of the user.
The AI performs actions such as converting syllabi into study plans, monitoring emails for urgent messages, and generating slide decks from inbox content. It operates on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure and provides a summary report upon task completion.
Copilot Tasks is currently available as a research preview to a limited group of testers, with a public waitlist now open. Microsoft shares experienced a slight decline in pre-market trading on Friday.
