Microsoft abandons personal AI chatbot race with Copilot reboot
Microsoft is stepping back from the personal artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot race and rebooting Copilot. The change now lets you edit Word or Excel files inside the Copilot app or a browser tab. That fixes a common complaint: the assistant had only limited reach into Microsoft's own work software. If your team uses Copilot, test editing a document there before you rely on it.

- Microsoft is abandoning the personal AI chatbot race and has rebooted Copilot instead.
- Users can now edit Word or Excel documents inside a Copilot app or a browser tab.
- This fixes a common complaint that the assistant had only limited reach into Microsoft's own productivity software.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your team uses Copilot, try editing a Word or Excel file inside the app or browser tab, and confirm with your software provider that your current plan supports it.
