Microsoft is significantly enhancing its Copilot AI assistant with new features focused on personalization, memory, and proactive task completion. These upgrades are designed to make Copilot a more useful and intuitive companion for users, moving beyond simple Q&A to a more personable and supportive AI experience. Microsoft's CEO of AI, Mustafa Suleyman, emphasizes that the key differentiator in the competitive AI assistant market will be the personality and tone of the AI, aiming to create a relationship where users feel like they are interacting with someone they know well.
Copilot's new capabilities include improved memory, allowing it to remember user preferences, important details like birthdays and favorite foods, and even corrections made by the user. This enhanced memory enables Copilot to provide more customized solutions, proactive suggestions, and personalized reminders. Additionally, Copilot is gaining the ability to take action on behalf of users, such as booking flights, making dinner reservations, and purchasing items online. This functionality, known as Copilot Actions, will work with various websites, making Copilot a more versatile and helpful tool for everyday tasks.
Further upgrades include a new "Discover" screen on both mobile and web platforms, offering interactive cards and personalized daily briefings. The "Vision" feature allows Copilot to access and understand content from other websites when used within the Edge browser. Microsoft is also exploring features like adjustable reasoning effort, "Pages" for content creation, and animated avatars to enhance the user experience. These advancements, along with tools like "Deep Research" and the ability to generate podcasts, position Copilot as a comprehensive AI assistant capable of assisting users in various aspects of their lives.
