Microsoft’s New Copilot Combines Home, Code, and Autopilot: What Users Actually Get
Microsoft splits Copilot into three surfaces: Home (consumer), Code (developers), and Autopilot (enterprise workflow). Here's what's GA, what's preview, and which tier costs extra.
Why it matters
Microsoft is reorganizing Copilot's product surface around use case rather than a single chat interface. For enterprise buyers and developers, this signals clearer pricing boundaries and feature segregation — Home targets consumers, Code targets developers with coding-specific capabilities, and Autopilot targets enterprise automation workflows. The practical question: which features land in GA versus preview, and what consumption model applies to each tier.
