The initiative, internally called \"Delivering one Copilot,\" aims to simplify Microsoft's fragmented AI product lineup and finally establish a strong presence on mobile devices where rival tools have dominated. The move mirrors OpenAI's March announcement of its own desktop super app, as Microsoft seeks to leverage the popularity of GitHub Copilot to boost adoption of its slower-growing products.", "body_md": "# Microsoft is reportedly building a super app to tame product sprawl — and finally crack mobile\n\nSuper apps are very 2010s, but they might be the future for [Microsoft](https://robinhood.com/us/en/stocks/MSFT/?source=sherwood). The enterprise giant is working on combining its sprawling and often [confusing](https://teybannerman.com/strategy/2026/03/31/how-many-microsoft-copilot-are-there.html) product suite into a single super app expected by late summer, Fortune reports.\n\nBy unifying the tools, Microsoft is hoping that the massive popularity of some of its offerings — particularly [GitHub Copilot](https://sherwood.news/tech/github-may-have-fumbled-one-of-the-biggest-first-mover-advantages-in-history/) — will rub off on its other, slower-growing products.\n\nThe tool will merge its coding assistant GitHub Copilot, its chat function Copilot, its Copilot Cowork tool, and a new agentic workflow called Autopilot. The move, known internally as “Delivering one Copilot,” will have the dual purpose of simplifying Microsoft’s fragmented desktop AI offerings and finally helping the office software giant gain a foothold on mobile, where competing tools have dominated.\n\nMicrosoft is taking a page from [frenemy](https://sherwood.news/tech/microsoft-we-have-spent-over-100-billion-on-openai-deal/) OpenAI’s playbook. In March, OpenAI announced plans for its own [desktop super app](https://www.wsj.com/tech/openai-plans-launch-of-desktop-superapp-to-refocus-simplify-user-experience-9e19931d) to combine ChatGPT, Codex, and its Atlas browser into one central workstation.\n\nThe tool will merge its coding assistant GitHub Copilot, its chat function Copilot, its Copilot Cowork tool, and a new agentic workflow called Autopilot.
