00:00Microsoft's CoPilot just took a huge leap forward, introducing features that make AI feel more personal and adaptable than ever.
00:11Now, users can select a preferred voice, enjoy responses tailored to their style, and get in-depth help with big decisions.
00:19With tools like CoPilot Vision offering real-time suggestions based on what's on your screen and think deeper,
00:25providing structured answers for complex choices, Microsoft is building an AI that's both smart and supportive.
00:32While some users are excited about this shift toward a more interactive, visually aware AI, others worry it sacrifices practicality.
00:40So let's talk about it.
00:41Alright, so at the heart of this update is CoPilot Voice, a feature that transforms the way users interact with CoPilot by offering a more direct vocal interface.
00:51Microsoft has built CoPilot Voice to actually get to know you.
00:54My friend doesn't drink wine, but that's my go-to housewarming gift.
00:58I'm on the way to the party.
00:59What else can I get?
01:00You could go for something versatile, like a nice set of artisanal teas.
01:04It learns from how you talk.
01:05So over time, it responds in a way that feels almost personal.
01:09You get four voice options to choose from so you can pick a tone that fits you.
01:13And it adjusts based on how you interact with it.
01:16Getting better at matching your style the more you use it.
01:19A fancy olive oil or gourmet gift basket with like snacks and treats they can enjoy.
01:24Right now, it's available in English in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
01:29But they're planning to roll it out to more languages and regions.
01:32Microsoft's really going for something different here.
01:35They want voice interactions with CoPilot to feel almost like talking to a real person, someone who doesn't just hear the words, but actually gets the context behind them.
01:43Oh, fancy olive oil? Like, why would somebody want that?
01:47For the same reason people want fancy wine. Flavor, quality, and just because it's fancy.
01:54Now, the next one is Think Deeper, which is built for those decisions that need more than a quick answer.
01:59Using advanced reasoning models, it can tackle complex questions by analyzing different angles and factors.
02:05It's especially useful for choices that aren't clear cut, like deciding whether to move to a new city, choosing between career paths, or planning a big project.
02:14Instead of giving a single answer, Think Deeper lays out a step-by-step approach to help users make sense of their options.
02:20Right now, Think Deeper is only available to CoPilot Pro users in select regions, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
02:29It's part of CoPilot Labs, an experimental space where users can test out new features and provide feedback.
02:36This helps Microsoft fine-tune everything from response time to the logic structure before a wider release.
02:42In practical terms, Think Deeper is designed to handle scenarios with lots of variables like budgeting for a home renovation.
02:50It breaks down each part, cost, timing, resources, giving users a complete overview rather than a one-line answer.
02:57One of the most groundbreaking aspects of this update is CoPilot Vision.
03:01Microsoft recognizes that many tasks involve more than just words. They require visual context.
03:06With CoPilot Vision, the AI assistant can interpret and respond based on what the user is viewing in Microsoft Edge,
03:12allowing it to see the same page content, whether it's images or text.
03:17This makes CoPilot Vision especially useful for scenarios where visual context is critical,
03:22like shopping, interior design, or even analyzing complex charts or graphs.
03:27Take, for example, setting up a new home. If you're browsing furniture options,
03:31CoPilot Vision can help find pieces that match your style, suggest complementary colors,
03:36and even offer advice on arranging items in a room. This isn't a passive tool.
03:40It's actively analyzing what's on your screen and offering recommendations that align with what you're looking at.
03:46The aim is to make CoPilot Vision a truly visual assistant that can help users engage with content in a more meaningful way.
03:53Privacy remains a top priority with CoPilot Vision.
03:56This feature is strictly opt-in and operates under strict guidelines to protect user data.
04:02Each session is designed to be ephemeral, meaning that no data is stored or used for training purposes.
04:07The moment a session ends, any data CoPilot Vision accessed is permanently deleted.
04:12Additionally, CoPilot Vision won't function on paywalled or sensitive content.
04:17And Microsoft has currently restricted it to a pre-approved list of popular sites.
04:22Alright, now this one is interesting.
04:24CoPilot Daily provides users with a tailored morning update covering news, weather, and other essential details.
04:31This is about making information easy to consume without overwhelming users.
04:35Microsoft has partnered with major news providers like Reuters, USA Today, Financial Times, and others
04:40to pull reliable, verified data for these briefings, ensuring that only quality content reaches users.
04:47Essentially, this AI is meant to be a quick, digestible snapshot of the day ahead,
04:51whether that's a summary of major headlines, reminders of upcoming tasks, or an overview of the weather.
04:57Available initially in the US and UK, CoPilot Daily will gradually expand to more regions,
05:02allowing users to set preferences for what's included in their briefing.
05:06Microsoft's idea here is to provide relevant information in a clear, concise manner without taking up too much of the user's time.
05:13Then there is CoPilot Discover, which is a feature designed to bridge the gap between available tools and actual usage.
05:20By offering tailored suggestions, conversation starters, and guides,
05:24Discover makes it easy for users to find what they need without feeling lost.
05:28For instance, a new user might not know all the ways CoPilot could assist them.
05:33Discover steps in, offering pointers and showing useful functions based on the user's history with Microsoft products.
05:39With consent, Discover's suggestions become even more personalized, drawing on interactions from Microsoft's ecosystem.
05:46The idea here is to make CoPilot accessible, turning it into a central assistant that learns from user behavior over time.
05:52Now, Microsoft has also integrated CoPilot directly into Microsoft Edge.
05:57Typing at CoPilot in the address bar instantly activates the assistant,
06:01making it easy to use CoPilot's capabilities without leaving the page.
06:05But CoPilot isn't Microsoft's only AI-driven update.
06:08Bing has introduced Generative Search, which goes beyond traditional search by generating answers dynamically.
06:14Instead of simply presenting results, Bing analyzes millions of sources, processes the information, and creates a synthesized response.
06:23This update is rolling out gradually in the U.S. with demo queries, marking Microsoft's commitment to more intelligent, personalized search experiences.
06:33Now, regarding privacy and features like Vision and Discover, users can opt out of personalized recommendations,
06:40and any data accessed by CoPilot Vision is deleted immediately after the session ends.
06:46At Microsoft, they say that ensuring user trust is key, so every feature within CoPilot has been designed with transparency in mind.
06:54By giving users control over how much personalization they want, CoPilot remains adaptable without overstepping privacy boundaries.
07:02Now, while Microsoft is pushing CoPilot toward being an AI companion, not everyone is on board.
07:08On Blind, an anonymous platform for employees, some Microsoft staff didn't hold back on their thoughts.
07:14Comments like, absolutely ruined, and a step backward pretty much sum up the sentiment there.
07:19Employees and users alike have raised similar issues.
07:22The updated CoPilot is reportedly slower, freezes up, and isn't as informative as the old version.
07:28There's also frustration over missing features like real-time information and the option to delete old conversations, which were both useful to many users.
07:37For some, the real problem seems to be the shift from a straightforward functional tool to an AI companion that feels more like a friend than a work assistant.
07:45People are saying they'd rather have a tool that gets things done than an AI that tries to be friendly.
07:51On AppStores, reviews highlight these concerns, with one user pointing out that CoPilot was so good before updating to this version, while another called it dumbed down and less functional.
08:02Another review questioned why Microsoft would take a solid app and turn it into something they now find less effective.
08:09There are a few positive comments, though.
08:12Some users like the new interface, calling it designed for general users and saying it looks cleaner.
08:17Kumar, a Microsoft general manager, explained that this update is just the first careful steps toward making CoPilot feel simpler and more user-friendly, with added voice features that make communication more natural.
08:30He described the direction as aiming for a calmer, more accessible experience.
08:35Still, the overall response has been mixed with many users feeling like the update has missed the mark.
08:41In the end, it looks like Microsoft's big step toward a friendlier AI has left some users wanting the more straightforward, practical CoPilot they had before.
