Microsoft Introduces Copilot Tasks AI to Automate Background Workflows

Microsoft has launched Copilot Tasks, an AI feature designed to autonomously execute multi-step tasks in the background using natural language commands. Initially available as a limited research preview, it can perform actions like drafting email replies, unsubscribing from promotions, tracking listings, and generating documents such as study plans and presentations. Copilot Tasks operates via Microsoft's cloud environment and supports one-time, scheduled, or recurring tasks, with plans for broader access in the coming weeks.
