Microsoft announces ‘Copilot’ groundbreaking AI companion

At a major event in New York, Microsoft has announced the launch of Microsoft Copilot, a groundbreaking AI companion designed to revolutionise the way people interact with technology and enhance productivity. 

This solution will be available in Windows 11, Microsoft 365, Edge, and Bing for a seamless AI-powered experience across applications and devices.

Microsoft also announced some exciting new experiences to help you be more productive, spark your creativity, and to meet the everyday needs of people and businesses.

“We are entering a new era of AI, one that is fundamentally changing how we relate to and benefit from technology. With the convergence of chat interfaces and large-language models, you can now ask for what you want in natural language, and the technology is smart enough to answer, create it or take action. 

At Microsoft, we think about this as having a copilot to help navigate any task,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President & Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, Microsoft.

Microsoft AI capabilities have been unified into a single experience called Microsoft Copilot. Copilot will uniquely incorporate the context and intelligence of the web, your work data and what you are doing in the moment on your PC to provide better assistance – with your privacy and security at the forefront.

The simple and seamless experience will be freely available in Windows 11, in Microsoft 365, and web browser with Edge and Bing, available as an app, or can reveal itself when you need it with a right click. Copilot is one AI experience that works across your whole life, and will begin to roll out in its early form in the next release of Windows 11 starting September 26.
