Bring your plugin to Microsoft Copilot with Work IQ Developer Tools
Microsoft launches Work IQ Developer Tools for packaging plugins into Copilot
Microsoft has released Work IQ Developer Tools (WIQD) in public preview, enabling developers to package existing skills, MCP servers, and agents into Microsoft Copilot plugins. The tooling supports both importing existing Agent Plugins format artifacts and creating new plugins via natural language descriptions through GitHub Copilot CLI. This is primarily a developer ecosystem play to extend Copilot's enterprise reach, but lacks major strategic announcements or broader industry implications.
