We're making a big change to the Copilot experience. Agent Mode is generally available and now the default across Copilot in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. As models become more capable, we’re bringing that power to where real work happens, right in the canvas. The power of a spreadsheet as an example is its spatial representation of information. What sits next to what, what feeds what. Give an agent that canvas to reason over, and a single prompt can reshape the model, the bridge, and the narrative at once. Read why: https://lnkd.in/g9adyV69

What if every creation was designed to be played with, built up and then broken apart? That idea sits at the heart of Kiln, the latest experimental game from Double Fine Productions. What started as an internal game jam project evolved into a multiplayer experience where players sculpt unique pottery creations and then use them in team-based battles.

For many people working in sustainability, Earth Day is every day. The work of protecting our planet never stops. But April 22 is also an opportunity to appreciate the incredible effort of the many (many!) people making a positive difference for our world. I am especially grateful for the teams, partners, and communities we work with who show up every day to care for our environment. One choice, one idea, one person at a time, it all adds up. 🌍 Today I want to recognize a recent milestone on our journey to be zero waste that was built on years of effort and countless teams' dedication. By the end of 2025, we eliminated nearly all single-use plastic from Microsoft primary product packaging, reducing single-use plastics to 0.07% across our global portfolio. This didn’t happen quickly or easily. It required teams to question old ways of working, simplify designs, and stay focused on what truly matters, all while keeping products high‑quality, accessible, and easy to use. Protecting the planet has never been about one silver bullet answer but a variety of solutions of all shapes and sizes. I see this every day in the work happening across Microsoft and with our partners, from using AI to help find and remove plastic fishing nets from the ocean, to supporting tools that detect wildfires faster, to working with UN Climate Change and EY on the Climate Data Hub so climate data from 198 countries can be easier to understand and act on. What continues to motivate me is seeing how much more people can do when sustainability is simpler. When the responsible choice is the easier choice, progress happens faster. Learn more about these efforts and the people behind them in the latest story on Microsoft Unlocked. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gzdxTUSP
