Copilot gets a surprising new upgrade with four new voices, plus it reads the news!
Microsoft Copilot is about to get a brand new look and additional features, including a voice mode with four new voices.
Windows Latest has some screenshots of how the new Copilot will work, and gone is the rather austere look of the previous incarnation and in its place is a new pastel-colored user interface. While the recent addition of Copilot ‘Wave 2’ for Office 365 customers was very much aimed at business users, the new Copilot 2.0 appears to be much more about making AI accessible to general users, with a redesigned home screen that invites you to explore.
Work harder, make it better
Windows Latest reports that the new interface is faster and sleeker than the old one, and more similar to ChatGPT. Copilot 2.0 uses a card-based design, where each card encourages you to use AI and explore its potential. So you may be asked if you want to start a diary, or if you need help falling asleep. There’s also a new voice mode, so you can talk to Copilot for the first time, and in response it will talk to you with one of four new voices: Meadow, Grove, Wave, and Canyon.
The new Copilot 2.0 asks you for your name the first time you use it and remembers your name every time you sign in with your Microsoft account. Complementing the completely redesigned interface, there are two different modes: Night and Day. Day is brighter and full of pastel shades, while Night is a dark mode.
The new Copilot 2.0 appears to have been rolled out to users in India and Brazil. We’re not sure when it will be available to the rest of the world, and there’s no word on a mobile version either. ChatGPT recently rolled out advanced voice mode for ChatGPT Plus users, and Gemini already has Gemini Live running.
