Microsoft Debuts A More Buttoned-Up Look For Copilot

Microsoft is rolling out a redesigned Copilot in Microsoft 365 with a cleaner black-and-white look and a dynamic prompt box.

The Copilot side pane is being standardized across Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for a more consistent Office experience.

For now, the update applies only to productivity apps, while the consumer Copilot experience stays the same.

The change suggests Microsoft is tightening where Copilot appears as it reshapes its broader AI strategy.
