Claude + GPT | Multi-model intelligence in Copilot

About this episode

The episode discusses the integration of Anthropic and OpenAI models in Microsoft 365 Copilot for enhanced task automation and AI model comparison.

Access Anthropic and OpenAI models directly from Microsoft 365 Copilot. Generate briefing documents, presentations, and Excel files from a single prompt with Copilot Cowork, pulling from your emails, calendar, and SharePoint through Work IQ — and fold in new tasks mid-run without stopping. Using Copilot Cowork, you can use the same platform that powers Claude Cowork. It's designed for long-running, multi-step task automation. Use Critique in Researcher to pair a generation model with a dedicated review model, applying source reliability and evidence grounding before the report lands. Run model Council to submit one prompt to GPT and Claude simultaneously and compare their full reasoning side-by-side. These experiences with Copilot Cowork and Researcher are available now if your organization has the Frontier Program enabled. Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares how to choose, direct, and compare the right AI model for every task, all from within Microsoft 365. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Copilot capabilities 01:06 - Copilot Cowork 02:32 - Mid-Run Task Injection 03:05 - Output 04:17 - Researcher Critique: Dual-Model Pipeline 05:58 - Work IQ Auto-Retrieval 06:58 - Model Council…
