On February 26, 2026, Microsoft declared the official release of its Copilot Tasks service, marking its formal entry into the competitive realm of AI agents. This innovative service transcends the conventional chat-based AI model, which typically limits itself to merely providing responses. Instead, Copilot Tasks is designed with a focus on "accomplishing tasks for users." By allowing users to articulate their requirements in natural language, the system autonomously formulates a plan of action and executes it seamlessly in the background. Endowed with its own dedicated computing resources and a built-in browser, Copilot Tasks is capable of performing a variety of tasks spanning different applications, including but not limited to searching for housing options, conducting price comparisons, and creating PowerPoint presentations. To ensure user safety and control, it will always seek user authorization prior to undertaking any high-risk operations.
