Microsoft’s new Copilot is allegedly more conversational, warm, and helpful.
Microsoft got in on the ground floor of the current AI hype, releasing the first Copilot PC features in 2023. Its decision to roll out Copilot while the technology is still developing has led to a lot of changes, and the latest update is the biggest yet. In fact, Microsoft claims its new Copilot is more conversational, warm, and helpful.
Copilot on your Windows 11 PC will soon have a daily summary feature, offering access to news and weather, with the option of having that content read by your chosen Copilot voice. Yes, Copilot talks now. Microsoft says this is a more natural way to interact with the robot, similar to the Gemini Live feature that Google recently released. There’s also a revamped Discover interface that recommends conversation starters for Copilot.
While some of this sounds useful, Microsoft’s drive to make Copilot more friendly may go too far for some.
