Microsoft reinforces Copilot. The problem is that he does it with options traced to those of his competitors

Microsoft He turns 50 today Since its creation, and to celebrate it, it presents a new niche of characteristics for its artificial intelligence platform. Copilot is reinforced With interesting options, but the problem is not that: none is essentially differential.

In fact, all of them have been available for some time in the AI ​​models of their competitors. Here it shows for example how Microsoft continues to adapt options of the AI ​​model of its main partner, OpenAi.

Mustafa Suleymanhead of the AI ​​division in Microsoft, explained in the statement the objective with this announcement. He remembered how Bill Gates’ ambition when creating Microsoft was to put a PC in each home. That of this Microsoft today is to create “an AI partner for everyone.”

And that tries Copilot, which as we say has been updated with new functions that try to make this chatbot more versatile than ever. The novelties are the following:

• COPILOT ACTIONS: Here Microsoft’s AI acts as an AI agent capable of performing actions autonomously. In the example shown searches and filled forms to find a storage or reserve a restaurant. Once again it remains to be seen how far this type of octive can go, which, As Operator demonstratedit is one of the great market trends.
• COPILOT PAGES: Through this option the user can collaborate with Copilot in real time, talking with him to edit answers adding files and context. The proposal is identical to the characteristic Canvas of chatgpt.
• Deep Research: In Microsoft they also offer – as for weeks– This mode of functioning that allows much more detailed analysis of our requests to search on the Internet, analyze data and start from showing a more “meditated” and theoretically more precise and detailed response.
• COPILOT VISION: This option is especially striking Artificial vision that allows Co -ilot to “see your screen” and help you complete tasks that you don’t know how to do in it. It also indicates on the screen what you have to do, something especially useful.

• Copilot Memory: If you give your permission, Copilot will remember your interaction with the model to be more useful and be more adjusted to your preferences over time. In this way, when using this information, for example for travel or restaurants recommendations.
• Copilot Search: As they already did Perplexity (In January 2023!) And also Chatgpt Search, now Copilot also gives access to a search engine that is also based totally on references and sources that is quoting in the answers.
• Copilot Podcasts: This chatbot is now capable of generating podcasts with voices synthesized with Ia. The idea is basically the same with which Notebooklm conquered us A few months ago.
• Copilot Shopping: A reinvention of aid for products searches, offers alerts and AI -based price analysis. Another segment in which there is also and there will be fierce competition, but that of course provides another useful option for the Copilot ecosystem.

As we said, many of those options have been launched by OpenAI in recent weeks and it is natural that they end up arriving in Co -cilot given the alliance between both companies.

In other cases what it does is offer characteristics that we had already seen for example in Google or Anthropic models. The advance is to thank and strengthens Microsoft’s proposal, but here the feeling is that the company will rely instead of leading this segment.

That does not mean that Microsoft does not have plan B. They have been working on their own AI models for many months –Phi-4, which we tried in Xatakait is a good example – this is already sure It is more a “update” of its offer of services of AI than anything else. There are no revolutions here, but an expected evolution and that at least allows Microsoft to continue to be in that fight.
