Additionally, Copilot now includes a Pages function for organizing notes and research, and a Deep Research feature for complex queries. Users can manage what personal information Copilot remembers, with options to delete memories or opt out. These enhancements are part of Microsoft's efforts to integrate more in-house technology into Copilot, which has historically relied on OpenAI's models. The updates will initially be available to Windows Insiders, with Microsoft emphasizing user control over data privacy.
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft's Copilot chatbot has been upgraded to perform tasks on most websites, such as booking tickets and reserving restaurants, and can remember user preferences.
- Copilot can now analyze real-time video from a phone's camera and answer questions based on what it sees, similar to features in ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
- The chatbot can generate podcasts with synthetic hosts and has a new Pages function for organizing notes and research, inspired by ChatGPT Canvas and Anthropic's Claude Artifacts tool.
- Users have control over what information Copilot remembers about them, with options to delete memories or opt out entirely, ensuring privacy and customization.
