Microsoft will integrate its ‘Copilot’ across all its services, including its search engine Bing, the company’s chairman and chief executive officer Satya Nadella said.
Announcing the launch of Copilot, first announced earlier this year in March, Nadella said that the artificially intelligent assistant would fundamentally change personal computing by allowing people to converse more freely with their devices in their “natural language”.
The new ‘Copilot’ feature will be rolled out as a free update for all Windows 11 users starting September 26, while it will be available across Bing search, Edge and other services after October, Yusuf Mehdi, a corporate vice-president and the consumer chief marketing officer said.
“It will work as an app or reveal itself when you need it with a right click. We will continue to add capabilities and connections to Copilot across to our most-used applications over time in service of our vision to have one experience that works across your whole life,” Mehdi said.
Apart from the updates on Copilot, the latest Windows update will also offer 150 new features, most of which will harness the power of AI to improve the performance of apps and services such as Microsoft Paint, Photos and the snipping tool, he said.
On Thursday, Microsoft also announced the launch of a host of new features such as personalized answers, Ink Anywhere, and Outlook Sound
