Microsoft gives Copilot another makeover, adding an Autopilot agent and usage-based billing

Microsoft has announced the restructuring of its Copilot app into three sections: Home, Code, and a new agent called 'Autopilot.' This agent, built on OpenClaw, operates continuously in the cloud, monitoring Teams channels and autonomously completing tasks. With this change, Microsoft is shifting from a flat-rate pricing model to usage-based billing, reflecting a strategic move away from its AI subsidy model. This adjustment indicates the company's response to evolving market demands and user expectations.
