Copilot also includes a variety of capabilities designed to help you find what you’re looking for and streamline your shopping experience. These capabilities include:

Easier Checkout: For select retailers like eBay, Walmart, and Best Buy, users can now checkout with select items from within Copilot.
Recipes and Instacart
Getting all your ingredients ready just got even easier on Copilot. With Recipe cards, you can now directly purchase ingredients in Copilot. Simply select “Shop Ingredients on Instacart” while using Copilot on iOS.
Two new voices available
Birch and Rain voices are now available to try on Copilot. Check them out!
Press to talk in Copilot for MacOS
A long press of Option + Space will now activate the Press to Talk feature on your macOS device. Just press the keys and start talking with Copilot!
A short press of Option + Space in macOS still launches the Copilot composer at any time. The composer on macOS has also been improved to remain small and not disrupt your workflow when you need to interact with Copilot.
You can change the keyboard shortcut that activates these features under Settings > Keyboard shortcut.
Introducing phone connection
With phone connection, Copilot on PC can now connect to your Android device, making it easier to stay on top of your day by setting alarms, creating reminders, sending and receiving messages, getting navigation help, and more.
