The new features include analyzing web pages and providing verbal cues during interactions. CEO Mustafa Suleyman highlighted the involvement of creative directors in refining Copilot's tone. The rollout starts Tuesday, with new features for Copilot Pro subscribers, including 'Think Deeper' for decision-making and 'Copilot Vision' for discussing web content. Suleyman envisions Copilot as a constant companion, capable of learning from users' documents and devices, with Bill Gates expressing excitement about its potential. By Jeffrey Dastin SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Microsoft (MSFT.O) has given its consumer Copilot, an artificial intelligence assistant, a more amiable voice in its latest update, with the chatbot also capable of analyzing web pages for interested users as they browse. The U.S. software maker now has “an entire army” of creative directors - among them psychologists, novelists and comedians - finessing the tone and style of Copilot to distinguish it, Mustafa Suleyman, chief executive of Microsoft AI, told Reuters in an interview. In one demonstration of the updated Copilot, a consumer asked what housewarming gift to buy at a grocery store for a friend who did not drink wine. After some back-and-forth, Copilot said aloud: “Italian (olive) oils are the hot stuff right now. Tuscan’s my go-to. Super peppery.” The feature rollout, starting Tuesday, is one of the first that Suleyman has overseen since Microsoft created his division in March to focus on consumer products and technology research. Long identified with business software, Microsoft has had a much harder road in the consumer realm. Its Bing search engine, for instance, is still dwarfed by Google (GOOGL.O) . Suleyman is hoping for a bigger splash with Copilot, which launched last year in a crowded field of AI chatbots, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. Copilot’s newly fashioned voice capabilities make it seem much more of an active listener, giving verbal cues like “cool” and “huh,” Suleyman said. Underlying the product are Microsoft AI, or “MAI,” models, plus a technology suite from partner OpenAI, Suleyman said. Suleyman added that consumers who spend $20 monthly for Copilot Pro can start testing a “Think Deeper” feature that reasons through choices, like whether to move to one city or another. He said an additional test feature for paying subscribers, Copilot Vision, amounts to “digital pointing” - the ability for users to talk to AI about what they see in a Microsoft Edge browser. Consumers have to opt in, and the content they view will not be saved or used to train AI, Microsoft said. These updates represent “glimmers” of AI that can be an “ever-present confidant, in your corner,” Suleyman said. It’s a vision he articulated as CEO of Inflection AI, whose top talent Microsoft poached in a closely watched deal this year. Suleyman said that eventually, Copilot will learn context from consumers’ Word documents, Windows desktops, even their gaming consoles if they grant permission. Asked what Bill Gates, Microsoft’s co-founder, thinks of the company’s AI efforts, Suleyman said Gates was excited. “He’s always asking me about when Copilot can read and parse his emails. It’s one of his favorite ones,” Suleyman said. “We’re on the case.” ### Related Stocks - [MSFT.US - Microsoft](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Vuzix Launches All-in-One Enterprise Solutions Kits Featuring Native Microsoft Teams™ and Zoom™ for Hands-Free Remote Assistance \| VUZI Stock News | Vuzix Corporation has launched Vuzix Solutions, a portfolio of integrated smart glasses deployment kits aimed at enhanci | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276235427.md) | | TCI Fund Management Ltd Boosts Microsoft Stake by 189,749 Shares | TCI Fund Management Ltd, led by Christopher Anthony Hohn, has increased its Microsoft stake by 189,749 shares.
