Is Copilot down? Users report 'outage' with Microsoft AI tool - as problems spike on DownDetector

One user said on DownDetector that there had been “another outage”. The user said: “2nd outage in the last week. What's going on?”.

It comes after Microsoft Copilot went down for customers in the UK on 9 December. The outage, flagged on the official Microsoft 365 Status X account, raised concerns among businesses that rely on AI-driven productivity tools.

Now it has seemingly gone down again. Copilot is Microsoft’s artificial intelligence assistant. It is integral to Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, and Teams.

Microsoft has not commented on the issues this morning. More to follow.
