IT Experts wrote a new post: Microsoft Copilot Cowork: New AI features for Microsoft 365
Tue, May 5 2026.webp)
Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork moves beyond chat-based AI responses by acting as an autonomous agent—an AI that can perform multi-step tasks on your behalf across Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and other Microsoft 365 services. Cowork is built on top of Work IQ, Microsoft’s intelligence layer that reads your emails, meetings, files, and organizational data to provide context for actions. As of May 2026, Cowork is available through the Frontier preview program and has expanded to include mobile support, custom skills, plugins, and integration with Agent 365. Access requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and enrollment in the Frontier early-access program.

GTP 5.5 now available for 4sysops members
4sysops members now have free access to OpenAI GPT-5.5. Please note that, due to this model’s high token rates, your free daily AI credits may be used up quickly. For most IT administration questions, GPT-5.5 is probably overkill. I recommend using Perplexity on 4sysops because the Perplexity model (Sonar Pro) is grounded in all 4sysops content. If you use the Perplexity website, you will miss out on a lot of IT content, as most IT sites now block AI crawlers.
