At its 50th anniversary event, Microsoft introduced a wave of new features for Copilot, significantly enhancing the AI-powered chatbot’s functionality. With these upgrades, Copilot now rivals top AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini. Among the standout additions are its ability to take actions on a user’s behalf and recall preferences from past conversations—making interactions more personalized and efficient. These improvements reflect Microsoft's commitment to making Copilot a more intuitive and proactive digital assistant.
Memory and Personalization
Memory is essential for creating a true AI companion. With Memory, Copilot can remember important details: your favorite food, the types of films you enjoy and your nephew’s birthday and his interests. As you interact with Copilot, it notes your preferences, building a richer user profile and offering tailored solutions, proactive suggestions and timely reminders. Copilot prioritizes security and privacy, giving you control through the user dashboard and the option to choose which types of information it remembers about you or to opt out entirely. You remain in control.
As we explore the full range of what true personalization means, we are experimenting with new ways for you to interact with your Copilot. For example, what if your Copilot had an appearance and you could shape and form it to be whatever you want? We’re early in this thinking but soon you’ll have the ability to personalize Copilot and interact with your AI companion in a fun way while it offers advice and support when you want it. You can strike up a conversation with Copilot and now have an entertaining appearance that’s unique to you.
Actions
Another key advancement that makes Copilot a helpful AI companion is its ability to now take action on your behalf. With Actions, Copilot can now partner with you to complete tasks behind the scenes. Use simple chat prompts to ask Copilot to book event tickets, grab dinner reservations or send a thoughtful gift to a friend and it will check that task off your list. Copilot Actions will work with most websites across the web, and we’re particularly excited to highlight our launch partners: 1-800-Flowers.com, Booking.com, Expedia, Kayak, OpenTable, Priceline, Tripadvisor, Skyscanner, Viator and Vrbo.
Copilot Vision
We introduced Vision in Copilot for the web late last year and now we’re bringing it to mobile and Windows.
Copilot and your phone’s camera now enable an interactive experience with the real world, in real time. From the Copilot app on your phone, you can look around at your surroundings and request information, guidance or ideas. It can analyze both real-time video from the camera and photos stored on your camera roll. For example, use Vision to improve plant health by asking it to examine your plants and suggest actions, or to scan your office and provide tips on decoration. Vision on Mobile is available today in the Copilot app for iOS and Android.
The new native Windows app will allow you to call upon Copilot while working across multiple applications, browser tabs or files. It will read the screen and interact with the content. You’ll be able to use Copilot to search, change settings, organize files and collaborate on projects without switching between files or apps. The Copilot app can be accessed by hitting Alt+Space or holding Alt+Space for two seconds to use voice commands. The native Copilot app for Windows is available today. Vision will be available first for Windows Insiders starting next week and will be rolled out more broadly afterwards.
Pages
Copilot now provides a way to organize your thoughts and content from chaos to calm. It takes all your scattered notes, content, research — whatever it is — and puts it in a canvas that Copilot organizes, simplifies and helps you with from your first rough draft to your very final edits. Pages lets you refine, iterate and keep the conversation going whenever you need it.
Podcasts
Copilot can now generate AI-powered podcasts that curate and deliver personalized audio content based on your interests. Podcasts give you an easy, engaging and different way to consume information with minimal effort. Copilot can create a personalized podcast to analyze and compare options like with a vacation plan or home purchase or you can provide content to Copilot like a study or specific web sites and Copilot will generate a podcast that helps explain the topic. While listening, you can continue to talk and interact with Copilot to learn more and keep the conversations going. It’s a daily audio solution that helps you solve tough problems, explore a new hobby or just enjoy an easy to digest solution to all that endless scrolling.
Shopping
Copilot is now your personal shopper: on your side, doing the research, building comparisons, offering advice. It lets you know about price drops and sales and will let you purchase directly from the app. Shopping with Copilot is the easy solution to find the products and services you love.
Deep Research
Deep Research is a new feature for Copilot that lets you conduct complex, multi-step research tasks more efficiently — shaving hours off the time it would normally take to complete. Copilot can find, analyze and combine information from online sources or large amounts of documents and images.
Copilot Search
Copilot Search in Bing transforms web search by bringing traditional and generative search together. It cross-checks information across multiple sites to deliver detailed, comprehensive responses directly in Bing, complete with helpful cited sources and suggestions for further exploration
We’re beginning to roll out the initial versions of these new experiences starting today. We will continue to expand availability in the coming weeks and months, which will vary by platform, market and language as we work through the rollout process. We will continue to listen to feedback from customers, adjusting and refining these experiences over time.
If you haven’t tried Copilot yet, download the app for free today at the Microsoft Store or at app stores for iOS, Mac or Android, experience the best AI companion for Windows on a Copilot+ PC or use Copilot on the web at copilot.microsoft.com. Thank you for being on this journey with us and here’s to the next 50 years of Microsoft.
