Delegate complex work with Copilot Cowork
If you regularly pull together reports or updates from scattered emails, meeting notes and files, Cowork can do the legwork for you — describe the outcome you want and it gathers the relevant information and drafts it, so you review a finished result instead of assembling it piece by piece.
What changed
Source summary
Microsoft 365 Copilot's Cowork mode lets users delegate complex, multi-step work by describing the outcome they need, rather than working through it step by step. You switch from Copilot Chat to Cowork, describe the task, sources, and deliverables you want, and Cowork gathers context from your emails, meetings, chats, files and business data, coordinates work across tools, and returns completed results for your review — all governed by existing Microsoft 365 security, privacy and compliance controls.
Why it matters to your work
Practical interpretation
If you regularly pull together reports or updates from scattered emails, meeting notes and files, Cowork can do the legwork for you — describe the outcome you want and it gathers the relevant information and drafts it, so you review a finished result instead of assembling it piece by piece.
What to try next
Next time you have a multi-step task like preparing a report from recent emails and meeting notes, switch from Copilot Chat to Cowork in the Copilot app, describe the outcome you want, and review the plan it proposes.
