Microsoft has unveiled some big changes to its CoPilot AI, making it more of a personalized AI assistant with the addition of voice and vision connectivity.
The new version of Microsoft Copilot includes a new news presentation mode that reads the news headlines to you. This AI assistant can also now see what you see on the screen. In addition, you have access to a voice feature that allows you to speak to this artificial intelligence in a more natural way similar to ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode.
CoPilot has been redesigned to have a different feel on mobile, web and dedicated Windows platforms. Mustafa Suleiman, the director of Microsoft’s artificial intelligence department, says that the company is creating an artificial intelligence companion for all users.
Features of the new version of artificial intelligence of Microsoft Copilot
The new CoPilot now has a personalized Discover page that is more functional and better encourages the user to interact with the AI. Microsoft customizes the entire Copilot home page based on your conversation history and over time. This page will contain useful searches, various tips and useful information.
In the new version of Copilot, you can now talk to artificial intelligence by voice, ask this tool questions and interrupt him. Copilot now has four voices to choose from.
The second important feature of the redesigned version of KoPilot is Vision. This feature allows AI to see everything you see on a web page. You can then ask Copilot about images, text, or other content on the screen. This feature can help the user especially during the purchase and provide more information about a product.
Using Vision in Copilot is optional and memoryless. Microsoft says Copilot doesn’t store any content in these sessions, and the data isn’t used to train the AI. This feature will not work on all sites because Microsoft imposes restrictions on some types of sites. This AI will initially only have access to a limited list of sites to provide a secure experience.
The new phase of Copilot also includes the Copilot Daily section, which provides the user with an audio summary of news and weather conditions. This feature is provided as a short audio file that users can listen to every morning. The data in this section is obtained only from websites that have given permission to copy their content. Microsoft will initially use content from Reuters, Axel Springer, Hearst and the Financial Times, but the list is expected to grow in the future.
Copilot can also now answer more complex questions thanks to the latest OpenAI models. Think Deeper is a new feature that allows the assistant to spend more time answering questions. As a result, it can answer more difficult questions. This feature is more useful when you want to compare two subjects.
The Think Deeper feature is still in the early stages of development and is housed in Copilot Labs. This lab will be a new way to test new features so users can give feedback on them. It seems that Microsoft wants to be cautious in this area.
A major update to Microsoft CoPilot is available today on mobile, web, and Windows apps. The voice communication feature will initially be available in English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, and will be available in more languages and countries in the future. Copilot Daily will be limited to the US and UK for now, while Copilot Vision will initially be available to a small subset of Copilot Pro users in the US.
