Copilot Cowork Gets Mobile Apps, Skills, and New Integrations

Microsoft is expanding Copilot Cowork with new capabilities, as Neowin reports, bringing mobile support, reusable Skills, and broader integrations across its ecosystem. The update builds on its earlier availability within the Microsoft 365 Frontier program and signals a push toward more autonomous, task-driven AI workflows.

Agentic AI moves beyond chat

Copilot Cowork centers on agentic AI, designed to run tasks in the background without constant user input. Users can launch multiple processes at once, while a dedicated dashboard tracks progress and results. This approach positions Copilot less as a chat assistant and more as a task orchestrator across work environments.

Mobile support expands flexibility

One of the biggest changes is mobile support, now available on both iOS and Android. This allows users to assign and manage tasks on the go, without needing a PC to remain active. Microsoft is targeting more flexible, mobile-first workflows with this move.

Skills introduce reusable workflows

Another key addition is Skills, a new feature that enables reusable workflows. Users can define task instructions, tone, and structure once, then apply them repeatedly across similar jobs. Microsoft is also introducing built-in Skills for common use cases, while enterprises can create custom versions tailored to internal processes.

Deeper integrations across Microsoft 365

The update also deepens integration across Microsoft 365 services, including document creation, meetings, and research workflows. At the same time, Microsoft is expanding third-party connectivity, adding plugins and connectors for platforms like Miro, monday.com, and LSEG, alongside industry-focused tools such as S&P Global.

Enterprise automation and customization

Further enterprise capabilities include integration with Power BI and Dynamics 365, allowing businesses to automate workflows across sales, customer service, and ERP systems. Companies can also build custom plugins tied to internal systems, helping standardize processes and reduce repetitive work.

Gradual rollout continues

The expanded Copilot Cowork experience remains available through the Microsoft 365 Frontier program, with features rolling out gradually. This phased approach suggests Microsoft is still refining how agentic AI operates at scale within enterprise environments.

In other Copilot developments, Microsoft recently expanded Copilot Checkout to support more than 500,000 merchants, signaling continued investment in making Copilot a broader platform beyond productivity.
