Microsoft<\/span><\/span><\/span> said Tuesday that it’s bringing together the engineering groups for its commercial and consumer Copilot assistants, which have yet to gain broad adoption.<\/p>\n

Jacob Andreou, a former Snap<\/span><\/span><\/span> executive who works in Microsoft’s artificial intelligence unit, will become an executive vice president in charge of the consumer and commercial Copilot experience, CEO Satya Nadella wrote in a memo to employees. <\/p>\n

Andreou will report to Nadella. Executives Ryan Roslansky, Perry Clarke, and Charles Lamanna, who will also report to Nadella, will lead Microsoft 365 applications and the Copilot platform, Nadella wrote.<\/p>\n

The moves will free up executive Mustafa Suleyman, a former co-founder of AI lab DeepMind that Google bought in 2014, to focus more on building new models. <\/p>\n

Since arriving at Microsoft through the Inflection deal in 2024, Suleyman has spent time working on Copilot for consumers, among other initiatives.<\/p>\n

“We are doubling down on\u00a0our superintelligence\u00a0mission\u00a0with the\u00a0talent and\u00a0compute\u00a0to build models that\u00a0have\u00a0real product impact, in terms of evals, COGS reduction, as well as advancing the frontier when it comes to\u00a0meeting\u00a0enterprise\u00a0needs\u00a0and\u00a0achieving\u00a0the next set of research breakthroughs,” Nadella wrote.<\/p>\n
