AI is transforming productivity in profound ways. As the new home of Office productivity, the M365 Copilot App (M3CA) is at the forefront of this transformation. It is one of the fastest growing products at Microsoft, and the primary means through which most M365 users experience the power of Copilot – be it Chat, Search, or Agents. M3CA is a multi-platform product, built for consumer-grade experiences and enterprise-grade trust. Our team is responsible for all aspects of engineering for this ecosystem of applications and services.
