I'm excited and honored to bring our Consumer and Commercial Copilot teams together into one org. When Mustafa Suleyman and I first started talking about this, we kept coming back to the same belief: the best AI product in the world has to be built as one. One team, one product, one experience. Microsoft has everything it needs to make Copilot indispensable for every user. That's the bar, and I can’t wait to continue to drive this work forward with this incredible team. 

We’ve been working hard on a new product, the Publisher Content Marketplace (PCM). As the web becomes increasingly agentic, one of the key differentiators in AI experiences will be the quality of the content used to make decisions. People are already relying on AI to answer important questions that have a basis in contextual guidance and expert research. In those moments, the difference between a helpful response and a misleading one can come down to whether the system is grounded in trusted, high-quality sources. PCM is new ground for our industry, an intentional step toward a more sustainable model that respects publisher choice, creates transparency around how content is used, and helps AI systems deliver more reliable outcomes. It’s still early days, but our findings in recent tests with @Microsoft Copilot and our robust conversations with publishing partners give us confidence we’re on the right track. We will expand PCM to those who share our principles that the AI web should respect quality content for the service it provides the consumer, ensuring the work of journalists, creators, and subject-matter experts play a durable role in the future of the AI web.
