Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the best NASDAQ stocks to invest in for long term. On July 1, Xero announced an integration with Microsoft 365, allowing small businesses to access real-time financial data within the tools they use daily. By embedding JAX, Xero’s AI financial superagent, into Microsoft 365 Copilot, the partnership enables users to query financial health, generate reports, and build forecasts without leaving their existing workflow.

The integration facilitates seamless data flow across Microsoft applications, including live data updates in Excel, automated narrative generation in Word, and instant chart creation in PowerPoint. By connecting these apps directly to Xero as the “source of truth,” the platform aims to eliminate manual data entry, reduce operational friction, and provide actionable insights through simple, NL commands.

Xero emphasized that this collaboration adheres to strict data responsibility standards, ensuring that proprietary business information is never used to train Copilot AI models. As part of a broader push to simplify financial management in the agentic era, Xero plans to expand this integration to include further Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook and Teams in the future.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is a global technology company that develops and sells a wide range of software, cloud services, devices, and business solutions, serving both individual users and enterprise customers worldwide.
