Microsoft Says Workers Are Now Using Copilot AI as Much as Teams and Outlook

  • On Tuesday, Disney tech leaders informed staffers that the company is dropping GitHub Copilot in the U.S. this August, shifting instead to AI tools like Claude and Cursor.
  • The move follows reports that GitHub Copilot 'lags behind' rivals like ChatGPT and Claude in adoption, with Disney tech employees stating they rarely used the Microsoft tool.
  • During an earnings call on Wednesday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella confirmed the company is developing a 'super app' integrating Copilot's chat, coding, and agentic capabilities spanning both consumer and commercial experiences.
  • Microsoft reported revenue jumped to $90 billion over the past quarter, with growth in AI and cloud businesses helping the company exceed analyst expectations despite recent product challenges.
  • Super app ambitions reflect a broader industry trend, with efforts from Elon Musk to transform X into an 'everything app' and similar endeavors from Uber and Airbnb demonstrating wider adoption of the model.
