Microsoft Reports Record Revenue, Announces AI Super‑App
Microsoft made a lot of money this year, more than $331 billion.
A big part of that money came from its cloud services, especially Azure, which earned over $100 billion.
The company’s boss, Satya Nadella, said they are building a new AI app that will bring all their AI tools into one place.
This app will let people write, code, and do work using AI without switching between different programs.
Microsoft is also making its own AI models and chips so it doesn’t have to rely only on OpenAI.
More than 30 million people are already paying for Microsoft’s AI tools in Office, up from 20 million last quarter.
Microsoft reported record annual revenue of $331 billion, with $214 billion from its cloud business.
Azure became the first cloud service to generate over $100 billion in annual revenue.
CEO Satya Nadella announced a new “Copilot super‑app” that will unify all Microsoft AI tools into a single interface.
Microsoft is investing in its own AI models, custom chips, and enterprise AI architecture to reduce reliance on OpenAI.
Paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats surpassed 30 million, up from 20 million in the prior quarter.
