Details
- Microsoft announced the Computer Use feature in Copilot Studio, allowing AI agents to interact directly with graphical user interfaces, such as clicking buttons, entering text, and navigating menus without requiring APIs.
- Launched as a limited research preview in April 2025, Computer Use is aimed at enterprise users seeking to automate workflows across browsers like Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.
- The system lets agents handle tasks such as data entry, market research, and invoice processing by dynamically adjusting to UI changes and working without expert intervention.
- This feature builds on previous Copilot Studio upgrades, addressing limitations of traditional robotic process automation (RPA) by reducing infrastructure complexity and resilience issues.
- Computer Use runs on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure, keeping enterprise data secure and ensuring that customer data is not used to train AI models.
Impact
The launch of Computer Use marks a significant step in democratizing enterprise automation by blending AI adaptability with robust security controls. Microsoft is positioning Copilot Studio to rival conventional RPA platforms, targeting companies seeking more flexible and resilient automation options. As organizations increasingly adopt AI-driven workflow solutions, features like this could drive broader enterprise acceptance and efficiency gains.
