For it 50th birthdayMicrosoft teaches your chatbot Copilot from AI a few new tricks.
Copilot can now take action on “most websites”, says Microsoft, enabling ticket reservation, restaurant reserve and many others. Bot has gained the opportunity to remember specific things about you, as well as chatgpt Opeli, like your favorite food and movies. And he can now analyze video in real time from the phone, answering questions in the context of what “sees”.
Improvements appear like Microsoft apparently Considering the return of Copilot, which was historically driven by AI models from OpenAI, with greater own internal technology. Copilot often lagged behind the rivals of Chatgpt and Google's Gemini, which in recent months increased the pace of implementation of the function.
From Friday, Copilot can perform tasks on the internet, as “agency” tools such as Openai operator do. Microsoft claims that he collaborated with 1-800-flowers.com, booking.com, Expedia, Kayak, Opentable, Priceline, TripAdvisor, Skyscanner, Viator and VRBO in terms of compatibility during the day. Enter the poem-on the example “Send a bouquet to my partner”-and Copilot will try to check this specific element to be made from the list.
Copiot, taking a page from the book about embarrassment with the search engine, can now track online offers for you. Tell the bot to look for price drops and sales for the item, and this will inform you when it will happen – and presented a link to the purchase.
How well Copilot performs different duties is not clear. Microsoft gave some details about the operation of ability and, unlike some of his competitors, did not publish data indicating areas in which Copilot can fight or need man intervening.
Copilot can also be blocked, as they are able to block the Openai operator. The company can do it if it is so For example, he is worried that fewer people visit their application directly It can harm advertising revenues.
Fortunately, other new Copilot functions are less vague and potentially full of controversy.
The improved Copilot can generate “podcasts” similar to audio inspections at Google Notebooklm. Considering the website, study or other source, Copilot will create a forward dialogue and back between two synthetic hosts. As in the case of audio inspections, you can stop host at any time to ask a question and they will confirm this and answer.
On Android and iOS Copilot can now see what is in the view of the phone camera or in a photo gallery, and answer questions (e.g. “what is this strange flower?”). And in Windows, the renovated Copilot application can display what is on the desktop screen to search, change settings, organize files and many more. The first will perform for members of Windows Insider, starting next week.
This reporter would hope that there are reasonable security to prevent reading of private files or making desktop errors. But the information was difficult to get the press ahead of time.
Elsewhere, Copilot has a new project consolidation function that attracts heavy inspiration with Canvas Chatgpt and Claude Artfacts Claude tools. The parties place notes and research in canvas that Copilot can help organize and turn into a document.
Supplementing pages, new deep research of the Copilot find, analyzes and combine information from internet sources, documents and photos to answer more complex queries, as well as deep ChatGPT research and deep Gemini research.
Finally, as mentioned earlier, Copilot can now remember you more. Microsoft claims that BOT will record your preferences during interaction with it, offering “adapted solutions”, “proactive suggestions” and reminders.
If the chatbot prospect of remembering intimate details about your previous conversations is worried, there is a way to remove individual “memories” or completely resign, notes Microsoft.
“Copilot (gives) control via the navigation desktop and the option of choosing the types of information that he remembers you or completely gives up,” wrote Microsoft in a blog post given to TechCrunch. “You remain under control.”
