All the news on Microsoft’s latest Copilot and Windows AI features

At Microsoft’s New York City event today, it’s announcing an all-new Copilot experience. The new Copilot design includes a new card-based look across mobile, web, and Windows. Copilot is getting more personalized with features like Copilot Vision, which adds the ability to see what you’re looking at, an OpenAI-like natural voice conversation mode, and a virtual news presenter mode that can read the headlines to you.

Windows 11 is getting new features like Phone Link status in the start menu that can show notifications and your phone’s battery life. And both Paint and Photos are getting fun new features like Generative Fill and Erase. Copilot Plus PCs are getting a revamped AI-powered Windows Search that includes a Google Circle to Search-like “Click to Do” feature and the ability to search for a photo using just a text description.

Earlier this year, an exec reorganization put Pavan Davuluri in charge of Windows and Surface and made Mustafa Suleyman the new CEO of AI. Now, a full year after Panos Panay’s abrupt departure, we will find out more about where Microsoft’s “AI PC” push is headed.
