Microsoft Copilot hasn’t been around for long but the company is already giving the AI a major overhaul. Microsoft’s new approach to Copilot will add personality to the AI assistant by transforming it into a personalized experience.
Copilot will also get new capabilities including a virtual news presenter mode where users can catch up on the latest headlines. Along with that, Copilot also have the ability to see what you’re looking at and a new improved voice feature that lets you talk to the assistant in a more natural way.
When you launch Copilot from mobile, web, or Windows, you’ll be welcomed to a new user experience that now features a card layout. This layout introduces you to a few summarized features available on the Copilot platform. The new layout is also much more approachable than ever before giving you visual cues to certain prompts.
Up to now, users likely had no idea what they could do with Microsoft Copilot. The chat box leaves everything up to the imagination and some users simply don’t understand the possibilities of AI. The new cards include examples you can execute in Copilot. Tips for meditation, how to decompress after a work day and skills you can learn in a month are a few examples on these cards.
The Copilot homepage will change depending on your chat history and over time, the options available will be influenced by your interests and needs. This hub acts as the place to ask questions and initiate commands.
We then have Copilot Vision and voice is now able to see what you see on a webpage and communicate with you. You can ask it questions about the page and its text, and even select an image to get a detailed explanation of it. One example of this feature can be seen in the video below. The user has a full conversation with Copilot regarding old photos of his grandmother. When a recipe appears, he asks what it is called. Copilot then reads the hand-written recipe and provides background into the dish.
There is much more coming your way for Copilot. Microsoft will roll out Copilot Daily soon which is an audio summary of news and weather for your area and preferences. The feature will do this in a generated clip and be presented in an anchor-like manner.
If you want to give these new Copilot features a go, you can head over to the website here, test them in the iOS and Android apps and soon use them in Windows.
