Job Description

Office AI (OAI) is playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of AI-powered productivity within Microsoft 365. As a platform team, OAI works across WXP apps to surface meaningful value for users. Their mission is to make Copilot more intelligent, proactive, and seamlessly integrated into users' workflows.


The team focuses on building foundational experiences like Copilot App Chat, enabling users to interact with their content through natural language. They are also pioneering agentic workflows--durable, asynchronous agents that can summarise, review, and gather information across documents and apps. With initiatives like audio overviews, proactive summarisation, and mobile-first Copilot experiences, OAI is redefining how users engage with their work--whether they're on desktop, web or mobile.


By partnering closely with design, engineering, and research teams, OAI ensures that every interaction with Copilot feels intuitive, context-aware, and deeply helpful. Their work underpins many of the intelligent experiences users encounter daily in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and beyond.
