Microsoft is expanding its AI capabilities by testing a new Copilot Live Portraits feature and making OpenAI's Sora video generator accessible for free through Bing Video Creator. The Copilot Live Portraits are currently in an experimental phase and introduce a new interface element with customizable avatars for users. These avatars, offering a selection of visual styles for male and female figures, could potentially serve as the visual interface for Copilot in voice-based interactions, creating a more human-like experience. Internal references suggest Microsoft might be developing real-time, visually expressive characters, aligning with the broader trend of synthetic video avatars in the AI space. The integration of Live Portraits may also influence the future of Copilot Characters, possibly merging both into a spectrum of assistants ranging from fixed personas to customizable 3D portraits.

Microsoft has launched Bing Video Creator with Sora integration for mobile users. Powered by OpenAI's Sora, the new tool transforms text prompts into short videos, offering users a free way to bring their creative ideas to life. The Bing Video Creator is available on the Bing mobile app for iOS and Android, allowing users to generate short video clips by simply describing what they want to see. This initiative follows the release of Bing Image Creator and Copilot, expanding Microsoft's AI-driven offerings.

Bing Video Creator generates five-second videos in a 9:16 format, with plans to support 16:9 format in the future. The service operates on a two-tier speed system, with standard generation being free for all users and fast generation requiring Microsoft Rewards points after an initial allocation of ten free fast creations. Videos are stored for 90 days, and the platform supports direct sharing via email, social media, or generated direct links. Microsoft will implement the safeguards used by OpenAI for Sora, blocking potentially harmful prompts and watermarking outputs based on the C2PA standard.
