Microsoft is preparing another major move in the AI race. According to reports, the company is working internally on a project called “Delivering One Copilot,” aimed at merging its various and currently fragmented AI tools into a single platform so that users no longer have to switch between separate apps and services.
What the super app would include
Under the plan, GitHub Copilot, the standard chat assistant, Copilot’s collaborative “Cowork” features and a new automated “Autopilot” layer would be combined into one application. In practice, a single platform would be able to write code, answer questions, complete complex workflows and carry out some tasks on its own.
The effort is being led by Jacob Andreou, a former senior executive at Snap who was put in charge of Copilot in March. According to reports, Microsoft wants to address the relatively limited popularity and fragmented experience of its current AI products by turning separate capabilities into a single unified system.
The Autopilot layer
The most notable element is Autopilot. Rather than a chatbot that only answers questions, it is described as a potentially agentic system that can interpret a user’s instructions, carry out multi-step tasks, coordinate across different apps and deliver results without constant supervision.
If the project succeeds, Microsoft’s Copilot would no longer be just an AI assistant but could become a broader digital working companion.
Part of an industry-wide shift
The strategy reflects a trend across the AI industry. The competition is no longer only about building better chatbots. The real contest is over AI agents that can complete tasks the way people do, use different software and take on central control of everyday digital life. Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and Anthropic are all moving in that direction. The open question is which of them builds a successful “super assistant” first.
