Microsoft wants Copilot to be your new AI best friend – Computerworld

Plus, some things just don’t work well using the voice interface. I asked Copilot, for instance, if it could generate some code. “I’m not going to rattle off code snippets or anything. I wouldn’t want to mess with your flow,” it said confidently. Copilot can’t seem to stop the voice conversation to show you something. But you can still get Copilot to generate that sort of thing by typing a text prompt.

Microsoft does offer some early attempts at Copilot providing useful information before you ask here. There’s a “Copilot Daily,” a little AI-generated spoken update that describes a few of the latest news stories to you. If you’d like to start your day having AI choose and summarize a few news stories for you, it can certainly do that!

Another fresh start for Copilot

Microsoft seems to be in a constant state of trying to figure out what it wants Copilot to be. The concept started as an AI tool built into Bing, complete with Bing branding. Then, it became a productivity tool named Copilot — still for getting things done! Now, Microsoft thinks people might just want to chat.
