‘Claude’ AI is coming to Microsoft 365

The agentic world that Microsoft and others have envisioned for AI is now arriving in the company’s office apps, where prompts are replacing the need to build PowerPoint presentations from scratch, even with Anthropic’s Claude.

Microsoft is pushing several major changes for office workers. Part of those will be part of what Microsoft calls its “Frontier” program for enterprises, where the company will allow the “technology” behind Claude Cowork to power the suite: Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Agent 365.
