- Support for multi-step reasoning and execution, allowing Copilot to plan, sequence, and complete work across multiple Microsoft 365 apps.
- Ability for multiple agents to coordinate on complex workflows, enabling more autonomous yet user-guided task completion.
Copilot Chat and Context Improvements
