Microsoft gives Copilot another makeover, adding an Autopilot agent and usage-based billing

Microsoft is splitting its Copilot app into three sections — Home, Code, and a new agent called "Autopilot" — and switching Autopilot and Code to usage-based billing instead of flat-rate pricing. Built on OpenClaw, Autopilot runs continuously in the cloud, where it can monitor Teams channels and complete tasks on its own, according to Microsoft. The billing change moves Microsoft further away from its AI subsidy model.
