Microsoft Launches Copilot Super-App With 4 Modes as Enterprise AI Shifts to Usage-Based Billing

Summary
Microsoft’s new Copilot experience folds Chat, Cowork, Code and Autopilot into one app that routes tasks automatically, aiming to let users describe outcomes instead of picking separate tools.
Fabric IQ is now generally available in Chat and Cowork, while Work IQ enters public preview next month, giving Copilot broader access to enterprise data and workflows to improve context and reduce hallucinations.
Code’s redesign and the new Copilot Managed Runtime — now in public preview — are meant to move AI-built apps from prototypes into governed production inside Microsoft 365, with tighter IT control over security and access.
Usage-based billing is expanding from Cowork to Code, Autopilot and other long-running agent features, while Chat and core Microsoft 365 Copilot stay covered by per-user licenses.
Several key pieces are still rolling out: Home reaches Microsoft’s Frontier program in coming weeks, Autopilot expands to private preview at month-end, and broad Code availability is due in the coming weeks.
