Work rarely happens in neat lines. It moves from apps to tasks to teams, carried by the constant context-switching of a real day. So we asked a simple question: what would Microsoft 365 Copilot look like if it actually moved with you? We’re introducing a new design for Copilot, across the app and across Microsoft 365. It’s simpler, faster, and much more in the flow of your work. https://lnkd.in/gD6nXkC5

There are many ways we can make packaging more inclusive - raised symbols that make things more navigable by touch, high-contrast colors, and larger fonts that improve readability for people with visual impairments. Our Packaging and Content team has spent years innovating accessible packaging. And now they have distilled their insights into a guide available to everyone: https://lnkd.in/dRCDBjZn

What’s involved in getting people to see AI tools as a partner, not just an add-on? Embedding with customers, building a mouse heatmap tracking tool and holding 1:1s to hear people describe Copilot in their own words are all parts of what UX Research leader Madeline Kleiner and her team do to study how people build trust and momentum with AI in everyday workflows.

Productivity isn’t just about tools. It’s shaped by the systems we work within. As we begin our journey toward an AI-forward system, we’re thinking beyond interface patterns, toward a system that understands context, adapts to different modes of thinking, and moves with you across your work. Those shifts happen constantly. Intelligence needs to meet you at the right moment in that cycle, otherwise it becomes an interruption. While still early days, we’re making progress, starting with #Copilot in Office apps. Here is a behind-the-scenes look into our design thinking, research, and vision for the future. https://lnkd.in/gNVih5QY #M365

As they work to ship AI features at start-up speed, frontier teams inside large organizations commonly include engineers, data scientists and designers. But there’s often a missing seat at the table: user research. By asking “how does this impact individual people” or “what did we fail to imagine”, research brings a complementary lens that helps understand intent, context and the conditions under which systems fail. https://lnkd.in/dd3qc43v #UXR
