Microsoft Copilot’s daily active users increased nearly 50% quarter over quarter; automated task volume nearly doubled compared with July.

The supplied summary reports that Copilot’s daily active users increased nearly 50% quarter over quarter and grew more than fivefold year over year. Automated task volume nearly doubled compared with July, a separate comparison from the quarterly user-growth metric.

Approximately 90% of Copilot queries reportedly use automatic mode, which dynamically optimizes among quality, speed, and cost. The source does not quantify the resulting savings or performance changes.

The number of customers with more than 50,000 Copilot seats reportedly grew more than eightfold year over year. Volkswagen is cited as planning deployment to more than 330,000 employees; that example is a planned rollout, not confirmation that all those employees are already active users.

Nadella’s remarks also describe Microsoft’s business model expanding beyond per-seat subscriptions to include usage-based charging as agents undertake higher-value work. The supplied summary provides no absolute daily-active-user total, automated-task count, or revenue split between seat-based and usage-based pricing.
