Microsoft unifies Copilot experiences into a single 'super app' ahead of launch

Microsoft is merging its consumer and commercial Copilot apps into a single unified interface called a 'super app,' starting with Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot. The rollout will begin mid-August for mobile/web and mid-September for Windows and Mac, with chats and content merged for users of both apps while personal and work data remain separate. Some features, such as Podcasts and Deep Research, will be retired on August 18, and other features may be temporarily unavailable during the rollout. Core Copilot capabilities remain free, and this move lays the groundwork for the broader super app planned later this year.

Gemini Spark Arrives on macOS for Google AI Ultra Users

Google is rolling out Gemini Spark, its agentic AI assistant, to the Gemini macOS app for US-based Google AI Ultra subscribers. Spark can perform local tasks like sorting PDFs and creating spreadsheets from invoices, and can operate with files in Google Workspace apps. Future updates will allow Spark to run tasks from your phone, and it will email you files if needed. It requires permission to access files and will only access what you authorize. It can link with Google Tasks and Keep, and upcoming integrations include Canva, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, and Zillow Rental. The feature is in beta, US-only, for 18+ users paying $100/month.)

Microsoft Scout: OpenClaw-Powered Personal AI for Microsoft 365

Microsoft is previewing Scout, an always-on personal AI assistant built on OpenClaw that integrates with Microsoft 365 apps to manage calendars, emails, travel, and tasks. It reads Teams and email to surface what matters, can suggest optimal travel times, and is designed to run in the cloud with a desktop Frontier preview in the US before broader rollout, backed by security measures like sandboxing, Defender, and privacy reviews. Microsoft is contributing to the OpenClaw core rather than shipping a separate product, while Google pursues Gemini Spark to connect with Workspace apps, signaling a new enterprise AI race.
