Microsoft Copilot Got a Major Upgrade 🚀 These features are coming to Frontier soon #MicrosoftPartner
A recurring Teams status update is the kind of small chore Kevin Stratvert hands to a background agent in his Copilot preview. The idea is to configure the task once, then let the agent handle the repetition.
That demonstration has picked up roughly 43,000 views in a day, more than five times its usual daily pace, despite being over two weeks old. This is a promotional overview made in partnership with Microsoft, and Stratvert says the features are coming to Frontier soon, rather than presenting them as available to everyone.
The quick tour divides Copilot into Home, Code and Autopilot. Home provides a starting point for prompts and delegated tasks. In Code, Stratvert shows how a written description can generate a dashboard or tracker without manually programming it. Autopilot is where the recurring background work comes in.
Then comes a change with a familiar set of names: Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents can be edited inside the Copilot interface. For a channel whose best-known tutorials include beginner Excel lessons and getting Microsoft Office for free, that connects the AI demonstration to longstanding subjects.
The practical questions in the comments concern access and price. Viewers ask for clearer distinctions between what a per-user payment includes and what costs extra, with one requesting Office integration without another charge.
