5 new Microsoft Copilot features you can look look forward to

It’s been just close to three months since Microsoft Copilot was rolled out to Windows 11 users on desktops and laptops globally, effectively bringing AI capabilities to one’s devices from the cloud. The AI assistant could do anything from generating text to creating citations for assignments, or spreadsheets, or searching the internet for users’ queries.

Now, however, as 2023 draws to a close, Microsoft has announced that it is testing a bunch of upgrades to its Copilot AI assistant. Here’s all you need to know.

New features to look forward to on Microsoft Copilot

Here is a quick rundown of all the new features you can expect to see on Microsoft Copilot in the coming months.

1. GPT-4 Turbo integration

Microsoft Copilot will soon generate responses to users’ queries, commands, and prompts using OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo model. If you’re wondering what this means for you, it will be able to understand your queries better, and offer more comprehensive, personalised responses, owing to a larger 128K context window.

2. New Dall-E 3 Model

Copilot, while it did possess rudimentary image generation capabilities, will now be able to respond more accurately to prompts, and therefore be able to generate higher-quality images.

3. Deep search capabilities

The new GPT-4 model being able to understand your queries better owing to a larger context window is just one side of getting to know users better. Using GPT-4, Copilot will now be able to conduct deep searches on Bing, to generate more comprehensive responses for queries, especially those pertaining to complex topics.

4. New code interpreter

If you happen to be a coder, this may be of interest to you. A new coding interpreter on Copilot will enable users to run large calculations more accurately, as well as analyse data and vet their code.

Copilot, Microsoft says, will write code to answer complex natural-language requests, and run it in a sandbox environment, to ensure it delivers high-quality and comprehensive responses to your queries. One can also download files from Copilot, or upload their own files own files to work on.

5. Inline composition with rewrite menu

Say you’re writing on a complex and fairly technical subject, and need to find ways to pull and present information from websites in a manner easy for others to understand. Well now, you will be able to get Copilot to rewrite text you’ve selected on any website on the Edge browser.

All of the above features, Microsoft says, are currently being tested. When they will be rolled out to users worldwide, remains to be seen as of yet.
