Microsoft’s AI just learned how to use a computer like you do — clicks, scrolls, even CAPTCHAs. It’s fast, invisible, and weirdly human. And if you’re not paying attention, it might quietly take over the boring parts of your job. Here's all you need to know about Microsoft Copilot's latest "computer use" feature.

Microsoft just gave its Copilot Studio a serious power-up. Its new feature, called “computer use,” lets AI agents navigate websites and desktop apps like a real human would — clicking buttons, typing in forms, scrolling through menus, and performing tasks just like you (only faster, and without snack breaks).

Currently rolling out in research preview to select users, the feature is designed to handle everyday digital grunt work — no code, no drama, just results.

Automate the boring stuff without breaking a sweat

You don’t need to know how to code. Just type a simple, natural-language prompt — like “input these invoice values into our accounting software” — and the AI takes over. It simulates the required steps, tests the workflow, and automates it once everything looks good. It works across browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, as well as native Windows apps.

This thing bypasses CAPTCHAs — and that’s a really big deal

One of the biggest headaches in automation is the CAPTCHA — those annoying "prove you're human" pop-ups designed to stop bots. Most existing automation tools break the moment they hit one.

But Microsoft’s “computer use” comes with built-in reasoning abilities. It can spot unexpected UI changes, adapt to them, and push through CAPTCHAs without asking for help. That’s huge. Because it means the AI agent doesn’t just mimic human behaviour — it can actually deal with the unpredictable messiness of the internet.

It’s like having an assistant who can fill out tedious online forms without getting tripped up every time a traffic light puzzle appears.

Fully private, totally transparent

Microsoft says security and privacy are baked in. Your data stays inside the Microsoft Cloud, and none of it is used to train the company’s foundation models. Every action the agent takes is recorded, including screenshots and reasoning logs, so teams always know what’s happening.

It’s hands-off, zero-maintenance automation that’s finally smart enough to navigate the web like a person — minus the rage-clicking.

The “computer use” feature is live now for early access users, with a broader rollout coming soon.
