Microsoft Announces ‘Copilot for Copilots’ Because Even AI Needs an AI Assistant

In a move that proves even artificial intelligence is overwhelmed by Microsoft’s ever-growing fleet of Copilots, the tech giant has unveiled Copilot for Copilots—an AI assistant designed specifically to help manage all the other AI assistants.

If that sounds like a joke, congratulations, you’re still sane. But no, this is real. Okay, it’s not… yet.

As reported by Polygon, Microsoft is already rolling out Xbox Copilot, an AI-powered gaming assistant designed to help players navigate settings, controls, and even in-game decision-making. This new addition joins the ever-expanding Microsoft Copilot family, which now includes Copilots for Windows, Office, GitHub, Dynamics, Azure, and presumably one that just follows Satya Nadella around making encouraging noises.

AI Needs Help Too

With so many Copilots now swarming Microsoft’s ecosystem, it was only a matter of time before someone asked, “Who’s managing all of this?” The answer, apparently, is another Copilot. Microsoft’s Copilot for Copilots is an AI assistant that helps users figure out which Copilot they need, how to use them, and—if necessary—how to prevent them from accidentally starting a Skynet situation.

Here’s how it works:

1. Overwhelmed by AI options? Copilot for Copilots will assess what you’re trying to do and direct you to the correct Copilot, reducing the time you spend yelling “WHY IS THIS NOT WORKING?” at your screen.
2. Conflicting Copilot commands? No problem. Copilot for Copilots will mediate disputes between AI assistants, ensuring that one Copilot isn’t trying to write an email while another is aggressively refactoring your code.
3. More AI, More Problems? The assistant will diagnose Copilot confusion and provide clarity on which AI is best for your current task. Because nothing says “efficiency” like an AI assistant managing other AI assistants.

Where Does It End?

Microsoft’s love for AI assistants knows no bounds, and this latest announcement suggests that we’re only a few iterations away from Copilot for Copilot for Copilots, which will presumably be a virtual therapist for all the other overwhelmed AI assistants. If you’ve ever dreamed of an AI-powered HR department resolving inter-AI workplace disputes, congratulations, you might just live to see it.

For now, Microsoft insists that this latest development is all about making AI more accessible and manageable. But let’s be real—if your AI ecosystem requires an AI to manage your other AI assistants, maybe, just maybe, there are too many AI assistants.

Then again, in a world where a fridge can refuse to open because it’s waiting for an OS update, perhaps Copilot for Copilots is exactly the level of absurdity we deserve.

Would you use an AI assistant to manage your AI assistants? Or is this the beginning of an AI support group where machines just vent about their human overlords? Let us know in the comments.
