On Friday (April 4), as Microsoft celebrated its 50th anniversary, the company rolled out exciting updates to Copilot, its AI-powered assistant.
With this latest upgrade, Copilot gets even smarter—introducing features like Deep Research, similar to tools found in other advanced AI models like Gemini and ChatGPT. This new capability allows users to dive into more complex topics, enabling the AI to process deeper questions and provide more context-rich answers. It’s a real time-saver for those exploring unfamiliar or detailed subjects.
But the standout feature? Copilot can now take action on your behalf. With simple, clear commands, users can now ask the AI to book tickets for events, reserve tables at restaurants, and more—making it a truly hands-on assistant for everyday tasks.
Microsoft also revealed that Copilot will now come with an improved, personalized memory. It will remember past interactions, helping it understand your preferences and maintain more natural, context-aware conversations over time.
These updates mark another big step forward in how AI can simplify our daily lives—just in time for Microsoft’s milestone celebration.
