Microsoft is changing the way we interact with technology by launching its AI companion, Copilot. The new release brings a more personal and human-centered approach to artificial intelligence, focusing on making it useful, supportive, and deeply connected to users.
At its core, Copilot is built around the idea that technology should work in service of people, not the other way around. This principle guides Microsoft’s mission to empower users with better decision-making tools, spark creativity, and deepen human connections.
Copilot now connects you to yourself, others, and your daily tools, helping you stay organized and even supporting your health. It brings people together through shared chats, helps learning with voice and visuals, and shows up with warmth, personality, and appearance – including the new character Mico.
The latest release includes 12 new features that make Copilot more personal, useful, and connected to users. These features focus on making Copilot a social experience, empowering creativity, and improving health and education. The update also introduces a new AI browser and turns every Windows PC into an AI-enabled device.
Copilot now offers long-term memory, helping you keep track of your thoughts and tasks. It also brings more content within reach by linking services like OneDrive, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar. Additionally, it provides proactive actions, empowers health, learning, and wellbeing, and integrates seamlessly across platforms.
The Copilot team is committed to putting the best models to work for users, both those they build and those they don’t. This strategy paves the way for more immersive and dynamic experiences inside their products.
Get started with Copilot today by downloading the app for iOS and Android or visiting copilot.microsoft.com in Microsoft Edge or another browser. Share your ideas on what’s next for human-centered AI companions, and let Microsoft shape the future of AI together.
