Microsoft is integrating new models into Copilot, enabling it to handle increasingly complex tasks, including long-running jobs through Autopilots. In one example, an Opal-powered Autopilot on a secure Windows 365 Cloud PC processed a month of trail cam footage, identified animal sightings, created a highlight reel, labeled clips, cataloged sightings in a spreadsheet, built a PowerPoint summary, and shared results in Teams. The technology, Opal, is currently in Frontier rings and will be available in Copilot soon.

It was a great week for innovation across the model ecosystem. We're bringing these new models into Copilot, enabling it to take on increasingly complex work, from quick questions to delegated tasks and, increasingly, complete long-running jobs through Autopilots. Here's one fun example: using an Opal-powered Autopilot running on a secure Windows 365 Cloud PC, Copilot goes through a month of trail cam footage, finds every animal sighting, creates a highlight reel of the best clips, labels each one with the camera, date, and species, catalogs every sighting in a spreadsheet, builds a PowerPoint summarizing the findings, and shares everything in Teams for colleagues to review. This is the next frontier for Copilot: software that doesn't just assist with work, but can own and complete entire tasks that unfold over hours or days.  Learn more about Opal, the technology powering one of these new Autopilot experiences (in Frontier rings now and coming to Copilot soon):
