# Microsoft integrates the Copilot development team to accelerate AI product deployment

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, American tech giant Microsoft (MSFT.US) is restructuring its artificial intelligence product team to accelerate the development and promotion of its AI assistant Copilot. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated in an internal letter to employees on Tuesday that the company will merge the teams responsible for developing the Copilot versions for individual and enterprise users to streamline the product development process and enable this AI assistant to reach more customers faster.

Under the adjustment plan, Microsoft AI department executive Jacob Andreou will lead the development teams for Copilot aimed at individual and enterprise users and will report directly to Nadella. Andreou joined Microsoft's AI organization in 2025 and held senior management positions at social media company Snap Inc (SNAP.US) before joining Microsoft.

Meanwhile, Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft's AI department, will focus more on the research and development of AI models, concentrating on enhancing Microsoft's own AI model capabilities.

Microsoft's ability to integrate AI models into its product system early on is largely attributed to its partnership with OpenAI. Leveraging ChatGPT technology, Microsoft has launched a series of AI tools branded as Copilot and integrated them into various products, including office software and personal applications.

As competition in artificial intelligence intensifies, Microsoft has been continuously simplifying the Copilot product system in recent years, reducing the number of standalone products to create a more unified AI platform experience. At the same time, the company is increasing its investment in AI model research and development, aiming to gradually reduce its reliance on OpenAI technology in the future.

Nadella stated in the internal letter that the company is doubling down on its investment in AI research and development resources, advancing its "superintelligence" strategy by integrating talent and computing power to develop AI models that can have a significant impact on actual products
