The Microsoft Copilot super app is planned for release this year, CEO Satya Nadella said Wednesday during the company’s earnings call. The move matters because Microsoft is preparing to combine several of its AI tools into one app for both individual users and businesses.

Nadella said Microsoft is bringing together Copilot experiences that include chat, coding and agent-based functions. He described Copilot as moving beyond chat into Cowork and Autopilots, and said the company expects to share more details soon.

The Verge reported Nadella’s comments from the earnings call. Microsoft did not lay out pricing, supported platforms or a precise release date in the remarks cited.

What is the Microsoft Copilot super app?

The planned app is Microsoft’s effort to put Copilot’s chatbot, coding assistant and agent-style AI features in one place. In this context, agent-style tools refer to AI systems meant to perform tasks with more autonomy than a standard chatbot response.

Nadella said the product will cover consumer and commercial experiences, which means Microsoft is aiming it at everyday users as well as workplace customers. The app is expected to include code-related features alongside other Copilot functions, according to his comments.

How the plan fits Microsoft’s AI push

Nadella’s confirmation follows an earlier Fortune report that said Microsoft was developing a super app combining its Copilot chatbot, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Cowork and an agentic Autopilot system. Fortune described the project months before Microsoft publicly confirmed the plan on its earnings call.

GitHub Copilot is Microsoft’s coding assistant, while Copilot has become the company’s broader brand for AI tools across its products. Nadella’s remarks indicate Microsoft wants those separate experiences to feel more connected inside a single app.

Microsoft is not alone in pairing general AI chat tools with coding products. OpenAI recently introduced ChatGPT Work, which The Verge reported combines ChatGPT with Codex, OpenAI’s AI coding tool.

The announcement came as Microsoft reported strong quarterly results. The Verge reported that Microsoft’s revenue rose to $90 billion in the most recent quarter, with growth tied to its AI and cloud businesses.

Microsoft has not yet provided the remaining launch details for the Copilot app. Nadella said more information would come soon, leaving the rollout timing, feature list and user availability for a later announcement.
