Microsoft is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a renewed focus on artificial intelligence, particularly through its Copilot assistant. At the anniversary event, Microsoft highlighted its plans to transform Copilot into a more personal and proactive AI companion, aiming to make AI work for everyone. The goal is to move beyond basic Q&A responses and create an AI that understands users in the context of their lives, showing up on their terms at the right time. The company envisions Copilot becoming an AI for everyone, more intuitive, and capable of remembering user preferences to provide customized solutions.
Microsoft is supercharging Copilot with upgrades designed to make it more responsive and helpful. New features include enhanced memory to recall important details such as favorite foods and birthdays, and the ability to complete tasks on the user's behalf. These enhancements aim to make Copilot more personable, with Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman emphasizing the importance of personality and tone in differentiating AI products. Microsoft is working to establish Copilot as the most personable AI companion, feeling like someone the user knows really well. Copilot Actions, another new feature, will allow the AI to browse the web and carry out tasks like booking event tickets, making dinner reservations, and even buying gifts through partnerships with various websites.
In addition to these upgrades, Microsoft is launching two AI reasoning agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot: Researcher and Analyst. Researcher integrates OpenAI's deep research model with Microsoft 365 Copilot's orchestration and search capabilities to perform complex, multi-step research workflows. Analyst, powered by OpenAI's o3-mini reasoning model, is designed to help turn raw data into actionable insights within minutes by running Python code to process complex data queries. These agents, along with other upcoming Copilot features, will be available to customers with Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses through a new program called "Frontier".
