CNBC featured GHD's David McLaren in its coverage of Microsoft's new Copilot update, which combines AI-powered productivity, coding and agent capabilities in a single application. McLaren shared how GHD is using Microsoft Copilot across its workforce and highlighted the potential for the new platform to make advanced coding capabilities more accessible to a broader range of employees.

The article examines Microsoft's effort to strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving enterprise AI market as organizations look for tools that can automate workflows, support software development and improve productivity.
