Microsoft Copilot is being reshaped as the company begins combining its consumer and commercial AI assistants into a single, unified interface. The change starts with the Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps, which are being merged into one experience that Microsoft is positioning as the foundation for a future super app.
Both personal and work accounts will move to the new unified app, which keeps the Microsoft Copilot name but adopts an updated app icon. For users, the most immediate benefit is the removal of duplicate Copilot icons that previously appeared in the Windows system tray and taskbar, tidying up the desktop experience.
What the unified Copilot app offers
According to Microsoft, the refreshed application brings together the strengths of each existing product. “Starting with a fresh look, the updated app combines the best of Copilot chat and image creation, with the power of Microsoft 365 for your work,” the company said in its announcement.
This means the single app is intended to serve both everyday tasks and professional workflows. Copilot chat and image creation features sit alongside the productivity tools tied to Microsoft 365, giving users one place to switch between personal and work contexts without juggling separate applications.
A step towards a single super app
The consolidation reflects Microsoft’s broader ambition to streamline its AI assistant offering rather than maintaining parallel consumer and commercial versions. By recycling the established Copilot branding and applying a new visual identity, the company aims to present a more coherent product to its user base.
The move begins with the Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps, with both personal and work accounts being transitioned to the new unified app.
