Microsoft’s New ‘Copilot’ AI Assistant Takes On The Role Of A Smarter Clippy 2.0
Microsoft has unveiled Copilot—a new artificial intelligence (AI) assistant designed to revolutionize productivity and user experiences across its ecosystem.
This tool will be integrated into Windows 11, Microsoft 365, Edge, and Bing, set to roll out as part of a update starting on September 26, 2023.
With over 150 new features, this software upgrade is one of Microsoft’s most ambitious yet, as it attempts to incorporate the power of Copilot and new AI-driven experiences into various applications, including Paint, Photos, and Clipchamp.
One of the highlights is Bing’s integration with OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 model. The improved feature will provide users with more personalized search results based on their search history, create an AI-powered shopping experience, and improve Bing Chat Enterprise, making it more mobile and visual.
For enterprise customers, Microsoft 365 Copilot will be generally available from November 1, 2023, along with Microsoft 365 Chat, a new AI assistant poised to transform the way people work.
Microsoft is also introducing a range of powerful new Surface devices that will bring these experiences to life. These devices are now available for pre-order, promising to further enrich user experiences with AI capabilities.
In addition, Copilot will be added to the company’s search engine and browser to help shoppers quickly identify items they’re looking to purchase.
Upon entering a query for a product, Bing will ask additional questions to learn more about one’s preferences in order to provide tailored recommendations at the best prices.
“It will work as an app or reveal itself when you need it with a right click,” said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president at Microsoft about Copilot.
“We will continue to add capabilities and connections to Copilot across our most-used applications over time in service of our vision to have one experience that works across your whole life.”
