Build 2025: New Microsoft Copilot 365 Features Start Rolling Out Today

Microsoft announced at its Build 2025 conference this morning that the Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 2 Spring release it detailed a month ago, is now starting to roll out to commercial customers. The main changes include a redesigned Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows PCs, Copilot Notebooks, and image generation features.

This second wave of Microsoft 365 Copilot features is “designed to power the next era of human–agent collaboration,” Jared Spataro, CMO, AI at Work at Microsoft said last month. This redesigned Microsoft 365 Copilot app, which is preinstalled on Windows 11, should also reflect this new philosophy.

Here are the new Microsoft 365 Copilot features that are rolling out today to commercial customers:

Create experience: The Microsoft 365 Copilot app can now generate images using OpenAI’s GPT-4o model. This capability also came to the consumer version of the Copilot app last week.

Copilot Notebooks: Copilot Notebooks allow users to turn content and data into instant insights and actions. They can be updated with various references, including Office documents, meeting notes, chat conversations, and more.

Copilot Pages: Microsoft is bringing the ability to turn a Copilot response into a page that can be edited and shared to mobile users. It’s also now possible to turn a Copilot page into a Word document, search and filter a list of pages in the Pages module of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, and add interactive charts and code blocks as output options in a Copilot Chat and Page.

Copilot in Outlook: The app can now summarize search results and attached files directly within emails, and it can also help users prepare for meetings by summarizing all resources related to the meeting topic.

Agent Store: Researcher and Analyst, Microsoft’s first reasoning agents for work are now available via the company’s Frontier program. Customers can find them in the new Agent Store alongside third-party AI agents from Jira, Monday.com, Miro, and other custom agents created by organizations.

Two other Microsoft 365 Copilot wave 2 features, Copilot Search and Copilot Memory, will start rolling out in June. The first one is a new enterprise search experience that will let users ask questions using natural language and get answers based on their organization’s apps and data. The second one will allow Copilot to remember personal details, custom instructions, and more with users’ permission.

Microsoft also announced at Build today Microsoft 365 Copilot Tuning, a new low-code solution allowing organizations to tune AI models using their own company data, workflows, and processes. Multi-agent orchestration, which is launching in preview today, will also allow AI agents to share their data so they can accomplish tasks together.
