Inside Cowork — Vision, Roadmap and What’s Next
summary
Cowork unifies Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, Dataverse, Fabric, Dynamics) into cloud-native agents that run parallel cloud jobs, log actions for governance, and call Anthropic models through a sandboxed agent harness. Demoed artifacts include Word, PowerPoint and Excel files saved to OneDrive with version history, a Tic‑Tac‑Toe HTML game whose computer opponent uses the minimax algorithm and becomes unbeatable at hard difficulty, and a custom skill pipeline packaged as MCP servers that deploys and invokes third‑party APIs. Scheduling, approvals, and plugin extensibility are shown working end to end.
