Microsoft will launch new ‘super app’ for Copilot soon

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella confirmed during an earnings call that the company is launching an AI 'super app' for Copilot this year, combining chat, coding, and agentic capabilities for both consumer and commercial experiences. The app will integrate Copilot's Cowork, chat, and code features, marking a major step forward as Microsoft evolves from apps to agents.

It’s officially the year of the super app. OpenAI recently launched its own super app, which it just admitted https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/29/openai-president-admits-new-chatgpt-desktop-app-is-kind-of-a-mess-teases-tab-free-design/ is “kind of a mess.” And now Microsoft’s CEO has confirmed has a super app for Copilot launching soon. Microsoft’s Copilot ‘super app’ will combine Cowork, chat, code, and more Emma Roth writes at The Verge https://www.theverge.com/tech/972927/microsoft-copilot-super-app-confirmed : Microsoft is working on an AI “super app” that combines Copilot’s chat, coding, and agentic capabilities. During an earnings call on Wednesday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the app will span “both consumer and commercial experiences” when it launches this year. “Copilot is evolving rapidly from chat to Cowork to Autopilots,” Nadella said. “This quarter, we are bringing these Copilot experiences together, including code, in one super app… This is a major step forward, and I look forward to sharing more soon.” OpenAI’s rollout of its own ’super app’ has turned into a mess https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/29/openai-president-admits-new-chatgpt-desktop-app-is-kind-of-a-mess-teases-tab-free-design/ . But that’s clearly not keeping other companies from avoiding the super app approach. Perhaps Microsoft will be able to better deliver an all-in-one app and avoid OpenAI’s missteps. That said, CEO Satya Nadella also recently expressed that the company is moving away from apps https://9to5mac.com/2026/06/02/microsoft-ceo-were-moving-from-os-and-apps-to-agents-instead/ to focus on agents instead. The AI era is still so new, trends and best practices for building AI-centric interfaces are all very much in flux. Apple, for its part, has shown no signs of moving toward a super app approach and instead continues to create new individual, specialized apps all the time. It will be interesting to see if that changes in the future. What’s your view of this recent ‘super app’ trend? Let us know in the comments.
