Meet Copilot Cowork: A New Way of Getting Work Done
A new way to work through the projects that take days, not minutes. This video introduces Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork, an AI tool built for long-running, multi-step work across your applications. Watch the video to see how Five Nines IT Solutions Inc. can help your nonprofit put Copilot Cowork to work.
Copilot Cowork is a new way to get longer, multi-step work done inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. Instead of asking Copilot for a single response or artifact, you can delegate a broader piece of work and let Cowork handle it over time.
Where traditional prompts are usually one-and-done, Copilot Cowork is designed for work that can run for minutes or even hours. It coordinates actions across Microsoft 365 apps, produces real outputs along the way, and keeps you updated as it progresses—all within your existing Microsoft 365 environment.
How does Copilot Cowork handle complex, multi-step tasks?
Copilot Cowork is built to manage work that doesn’t fit into a single prompt or a single app. You can assign it a meaningful task—such as preparing a project brief or consolidating information from multiple documents—and it will:
- Run the task over a longer period of time (from several minutes to several hours).
- Move across different Microsoft 365 apps as needed, instead of staying confined to one place.
- Coordinate intermediate steps and actions, producing tangible outputs along the way.
- Keep you in the loop so you can review, adjust, or redirect as the work progresses.
This turns Copilot from a one-shot assistant into more of an ongoing coworker that helps you manage multi-step workflows.
What is Work IQ and why does it matter?
Work IQ is the capability that gives Copilot Cowork a deeper understanding of your work. Instead of working from isolated prompts or fragments of data, Work IQ lets Cowork reason over all relevant materials in your Microsoft 365 environment.
In practice, this means Copilot Cowork can:
- Use the broader context of your documents, emails, and other work artifacts.
- Make more informed decisions as it executes multi-step tasks.
- Produce outputs that are better aligned with your ongoing projects and priorities.
All of this happens securely inside Microsoft 365, so your data stays within your existing security and compliance boundaries while you reimagine how complex work gets done.
