PANews, March 9th – Microsoft (MSFT.O) released Copilot Cowork on Monday, built upon its Claude Cowork product. Claude Cowork has garnered attention in Silicon Valley for its ability to handle complex tasks with minimal human supervision. Microsoft is betting that its long-standing relationships with enterprise customers and its emphasis on security and data control will help win over enterprise clients interested in AI agents but concerned about security. Jared Spataro, who heads Microsoft's "AI at Work" business, stated, "We only run in the cloud and only work on behalf of users. So you can know exactly what information it (Copilot Cowork) can access." Copilot Cowork is currently in testing and will be available to early adopters later this month. The company did not disclose specific pricing but stated that some usage will be included in its $30 per user per month M365 Copilot subscription for enterprises, with additional usage available for purchase.
