About Microsoft Autopilot is a persistent AI agent in Microsoft Copilot designed to continue working on assigned goals without requiring a new prompt for every step. Users can give Autopilot a name, role, objective, and boundaries, and it can monitor channels, follow up on conversations, run recurring work, and resume projects over time. The agent is cloud-hosted, allowing it to keep operating when the user is offline or focused on other tasks. Autopilot has its own identity, memory, computer, and workspace within the organization’s Microsoft 365 tenant. It can work across environments such as Teams, Outlook, chats, channels, and documents while using organizational context from Microsoft IQ. Permissions, auditing, and governance controls are built into the experience so organizations can manage what the agent can access and do.
