Microsoft’s “Copilot” Gets a Major Upgrade with Voice and Vision Features

Microsoft is taking its AI game up a notch with a major revamp of its Copilot assistant, introducing voice and vision capabilities that push it closer to becoming a personalized AI companion. Among the standout features is a virtual news presenter mode, which lets Copilot read out the headlines to you. But that’s just the start.

Copilot will now also “see” what’s on your screen, bringing context to interactions, while a new voice feature lets you have fluid, natural conversations with it, much like OpenAI’s latest voice model. These upgrades mark a big leap in how users will interact with Microsoft’s AI, moving beyond basic text inputs to a fully immersive assistant experience. Microsoft seems poised to turn Copilot into something far more intuitive and essential for everyday productivity that could even rival the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, but whether it holds up or not remains to be seen.
