Tools, resources, and a prompt to see a snapshot of how your competitors are using AI. ⬇️
Enterprise customers demand SSO, directory sync, granular permissions, and audit logs built to strict compliance standards. Building them in-house takes months and creates ongoing maintenance that pulls focus from your core product.
That’s why companies like OpenAI, Cursor, and Vercel use WorkOS. It's the modern identity and enterprise features platform for B2B SaaS.
Modular, developer-friendly APIs for SSO, SCIM, RBAC, and more
A hosted Admin Portal that makes customer onboarding seamless
Compliance features like SOC 2 and GDPR built in
Over a thousand companies already rely on WorkOS. Your first million MAUs are free.
The latest Copilot update is one of Microsoft’s biggest yet, and it comes with a lot!
Key features and benefits
Mico, the new avatar: A visual companion that reacts to your voice and cues during interactions, making Copilot feel more natural to use.
Group sessions: Up to 32 people can now collaborate with Copilot in shared chats for brainstorming or document drafting.
“Real Talk” mode: Copilot can adjust its tone, ask clarifying questions, and feel more conversational.
Long-term memory: It remembers preferences, past tasks, and context for smoother continuity across sessions.
Cross-platform integration: Works more deeply with Outlook, OneDrive, and Google Drive, so tasks flow across ecosystems.
Things to keep in mind
The rollout is gradual, so not everyone will see these updates right away.
Memory and personalization raise valid privacy and governance questions that enterprises will want to monitor.
Some teams may need time to adapt and integrate Copilot’s new modes into their daily work.
This release moves Copilot closer to being a true workspace assistant, not just a chat interface. I’m looking forward to seeing how teams use it to save time, share insights, and turn everyday interactions into real progress.
In other news
KPMG says enterprises are shifting from basic automation to agentic AI systems that can plan and act on their own. Its new Velocity platform, built with ServiceNow and Salesforce, shows how automation is starting to blend with real business decision-making.
Anthropic has added persistent memory to Claude, so it can remember details across chats and give more consistent, personalized answers. It’s a productivity boost but also raises questions about how that memory is stored and shared.
