Microsoft's 'Copilot Cowork' now supports instructions and operations from smartphones

Microsoft is rolling out Copilot Cowork mobile control for iOS and Android, letting users direct the AI assistant away from the PC.

The update adds reusable Skills for consistent task execution and expands plugin-based connections across Microsoft 365 tools.

Integration with apps like Outlook, Teams, and Excel should make workflow delegation and automation faster for business users.

Microsoft is also advancing Work IQ and related features to deepen Copilot Cowork’s role in office productivity.
