Delegate ongoing work to Autopilot in Microsoft Copilot
Autopilot is a personal, proactive, and persistent agent in the Microsoft Copilot app. It takes a standing responsibility rather than a single task. This module uses a skill you already have. You decide what's worth passing on, how much room to give it, and how closely to check what comes back. Your ongoing work then keeps moving without you asking again.
Important
You need to be part of the Frontier preview program and sign up to accept terms of participation to get early access to Autopilot. Frontier connects you directly with Microsoft's latest AI innovations. Frontier previews are subject to the existing preview terms of your customer agreements. As these features are still in development, their availability and capabilities may change over time.
- This feature is in preview.
- Preview features may have restricted functionality and may not be released for general availability. These features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.
- For more information, go to our Microsoft Product Terms.
