Microsoft Releases Copilot Cowork Extension Built on Claude Cowork to Expand Enterprise Intelligent Agent Business

BlockBeats News, March 9th, Microsoft (MSFT.O) on Monday unveiled Copilot Cowork, built on the Claude Cowork product.

Claude Cowork has attracted attention in Silicon Valley for its ability to handle complex tasks with minimal human supervision. Microsoft is banking on its long-standing relationships with enterprise customers and its emphasis on security and data control to help win over those enterprise customers who are interested in AI agents but concerned about the lack of security guarantees.

Jared Spataro, who is responsible for Microsoft's "AI at Work" business, said: "We only run in a cloud environment and only work on behalf of the user. So you can know exactly what it (Copilot Cowork) can access."

Copilot Cowork is currently in testing and will be available to early users later this month. The company did not disclose specific pricing but indicated that some usage will be included in its M365 Copilot subscription for enterprises at $30 per user per month, with additional usage available for purchase.
