Microsoft is launching a redesigned version of Copilot today, intent on becoming an AI assistant or companion. To celebrate this, Microsoft’s new AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has penned a 700-plus-word memo on what he describes as a “technological paradigm shift” toward AI models that can understand what humans see and hear.

Powered by OpenAI’s latest models, Microsoft’s Copilot assistant is becoming a lot more handy—and wants to be an “encouraging” digital coworker.

Microsoft wants to make its AI even more of a personal assistant for users, and is rolling out new abilities on its latest Copilot version to read out a summary of the latest news, maintain a conversation and even see what you see on a screen.
