One new feature, &ldquo;Critique,&rdquo; sets up a system where <strong>one AI model can evaluate the responses of another.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OpenAI&rsquo;s GPT generates the response, while Claude reviews it for accuracy and quality, before it&rsquo;s presented to the user. Microsoft hopes to invert this workflow in the future, where Claude generates and GPT reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the &ldquo;Council&rdquo; feature <strong>allows users to pull outputs from different AI models <\/strong>for the same request, allowing direct comparison between responses.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/satyanadella_new-in-m365-copilot-council-you-can-run-activity-7444441543010258945-6cQP\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post on LinkedIn<\/a>, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote: &ldquo;You can run multiple models on the same prompt at the same time, so you can see where they align and diverge, and understand what each adds.&rdquo;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>Enterprise Shift to Multi-Step Workflows<\/h2>\n<p>These new developments from Microsoft represent a shift in enterprise-level AI offerings, which are <strong>more focused on multi-model AI systems<\/strong> that can be built into long-running and complex workflows. Businesses are now searching for ways AI can become embedded into their workflows, completing tasks autonomously.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/2026\/03\/30\/copilot-cowork-now-available-in-frontier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog post<\/a>, Jared Spataro, chief marketing officer for AI at Work at Microsoft, described Copilot Cowork in particular as a <strong>shift toward AI that carries out connected sequences of actions<\/strong>, rather than simply acting as a response generator for loose, individual user requests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Multi-model AI workflows are highly beneficial for businesses, <\/strong>especially as AI is increasingly used as a way to manage multiple systems, departments, and data sources. For example, they can be used to enhance consistency across projects that require input from several teams, such as resolving difficult customer
