Microsoft taps Anthropic for Copilot as enterprise AI agent race heats up
Microsoft added Anthropic’s technology to Microsoft 365 Copilot with a new tool, Copilot Cowork, now in limited preview and expanding later in March. The company also launched Agent 365 and Microsoft 365 E7, set for general sale May 1 at $15 and $99 per user monthly. Microsoft aims to reduce reliance on OpenAI, offering Claude Sonnet models in Copilot alongside OpenAI’s. Some Copilot Cowork use will be included in the $30 Copilot plan.
