That’s why we’re bringing the best of AI search to Copilot, combining intelligent answers with trusted sources: Starting with the Fall Release, Copilot responses will now include more prominent, clickable citations and the option to see aggregated sources. We’re also excited to launch a dedicated search experience within Copilot for even greater depth, breadth, and precision.

Trust and freedom 

“Searching” has always reflected a deeply human instinct—the drive to satisfy curiosity and the need to trust in what we find. In the era of AI, it is no different; when you ask Copilot a question—whether it’s a quick fact or a complex
query—you expect clarity, confidence, and control. 

Our journey began with Copilot Search.  First introduced inside of Bing, it blends the best of traditional and generative search together to help find what you need. Over the past few months, we’ve learned a lot: how people explore, what they value most, and how much trust in sources matters. That shaped our next step: Now, Copilot’s responses will have more prominent citations to show you the publisher content that it was sourced from.

We’ve optimized Bing’s powerful search capabilities and utilized Copilot’s intelligence to deliver greater control and transparency to everyday interactions with your AI companion. Now, when Copilot provides an answer, it doesn’t just deliver a summary—it shows you exactly where the information comes from, with relevant, clear, and clickable sources.

For example, if you’re planning an unforgettable vacation to Rome, a query like “Best neighborhoods to stay in Rome for first-time visitors” goes from hours of searching the web to a quick summary of suggestions and cited sources so you can dive deeper. Knowing where information comes from matters—a trusted recommendation can make your trip memorable, while an unknown source might not meet your expectations. Citations to publisher sources integrated directly into Copilot responses let you move beyond summaries; just click to view the source directly, whenever you choose. That’s the beauty of the ability to see sources with an answer; it feels more natural, human, and ultimately satisfying—knowing you have all the information you need in one place.

But this isn’t just about trust—it’s also about freedom to explore. That’s why we’re also bringing a consolidated list of the sources used to generate Copilot’s response into one place; simply click “Show all” to see the full list of references, including related results, in the right pane. Now, you have a curated response side-by-side with the sources themselves so you can find the information you’re looking for.

Search smarter 

These enhancements to the Copilot experience are just the start. For those moments when you know that you need search, we’re introducing a dedicated experience directly within Copilot. Just click the drop-down and select “Search” to get intelligently curated answers and even richer references and citations. Responses are adaptive, delivering concise answers for simple queries or in-depth summaries for analytical, or more complex queries.

To make discovery smooth and effortless, we’re introducing dedicated navigation links at the top of responses. For example, simple queries such as “amazon” or “TripAdvisor NYC” will give you a simple link where a single click takes you exactly where you need to go—just like the familiar experience of how search has worked for years. Soon, complex queries such as “I lost my passport, what is the official passport application site?” will generate a response linking to the exact site you need to go to. Search is the best of both worlds—speed and depth—designed to keep you in control.

A healthy ecosystem 

We’ve designed these changes to Copilot and the new Search experience within Copilot with publishers and content owners in mind to support a healthy web ecosystem. Cited sources are easily accessible in-line, highlighted prominently at the bottom of the response, and all references are available in the right pane. This allows you to be just a click away from the publisher and content owner sources that were used.

Get started 

With these updates, we’ve taken what people love about Search and paired it with the intelligence of Copilot. The result? A seamless experience that feels natural and trustworthy. This is designed to serve people: fast when you need speed, deep when you need detail, and always grounded in the best of the web. Because technology should empower your curiosity—not limit it.

These updates are available today in Copilot on copilot.com, iOS and Android mobile apps, and Copilot in Edge. In the new Copilot Mode in Edge, simply press tab in the address bar to get quick access to Search in Copilot.

The post Bringing the best of AI search to Copilot appeared first on Microsoft Copilot Blog.

Copilot now connects you to yourself, to others, and to the tools you use every day. It’s there for you, helps you stay organized, and even supports your health. It brings people together in shared chats, helps you learn with voice and visuals, and shows up with warmth, personality and even an appearance: Mico.   

When we started talking about this idea of an AI companion a few years ago it seemed distant and uncertain. Now it’s real, it’s here. We can’t wait for you to feel the difference.   

Mustafa Suleyman   

Copilot Fall Release   

Today’s release is a major step forward in delivering on our vision of AI that is in service of people. We’re delivering 12 new features that are focused on making Copilot more personal, more useful and more connected to the people and world around you. Read on to learn more about the latest with Copilot.  

AI That Connects Us 

AI should be social, not isolating. Groups¹, turns Copilot into a shared experience – letting you collaborate in real time to brainstorm, co-write, plan and study together. Invite friends, classmates, or teammates – up to 32 people – and Copilot keeps everyone aligned by summarizing threads, proposing options, tallying votes, and splitting tasks. Sharing is simple: start a session, then send a link and anyone can join and see the same conversation. Click here to see Groups in action. 

Connection isn’t just about conversation, it’s about creativity, too. And with Imagine, you can explore and remix AI-generated ideas in a collaborative space. Browse creations and adapt them to fit your needs. Every post can be liked and remixed, creating a dynamic ecosystem where creativity multiplies.   

Some companies will optimize fully for 1:1 engagement, but with Copilot we’re focusing on an AI that understands the importance of keeping us connected to real people. We’re pioneering ways to measure AI’s social intelligence – how it elevates group chats, encourages creativity, and grows conversations. 

Personalized to You 

A lot of people are evaluating what a relationship with an AI companion should look like and feel like. In this release we’re adding features to make Copilot more personal and more adaptable to your needs and style, while holding true to our brand values. Copilot is designed to be empathetic and supportive, not sycophantic. It will push back on you sometimes, but always respectfully. This is AI that listens. That learns. That earns your trust.  

The new Mico ¹ character – its name a nod to Microsoft Copilot – is expressive, customizable, and warm. This optional visual presence listens, reacts, and even changes colors to reflect your interactions, making voice conversations feel more natural. Mico shows support through animation and expressions, creating a friendly and engaging experience.  Click here to meet Mico. 

Separately, explore conversation styles like real talk ^1,7, which offers a collaborative model that challenges assumptions with care, adapts to your vibe, and helps conversations spark growth and connection.  

Deeper memory and shared context 

Copilot now has long term memory, helping you keep track of your thoughts and to-do list, almost like a second brain. With Memory & Personalization, you can ask Copilot to remember important information like training for a marathon or an anniversary, then recall it during future interactions. We’re also beginning to roll out the ability to reference past conversations, making it easier to pick up where you left off and reducing the need to repeat yourself. You’re always in control, with the ability to edit, update, or delete memories at any time.   

With connectors², Copilot brings more of your content within reach. By linking services like OneDrive, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, Copilot makes it easy to search and find what you need across multiple accounts using natural language. You can locate documents, emails and calendar events. Privacy is built in with explicit consent required before any data access, and you remain in control of what’s connected and searchable.  

And with our Proactive Actions preview^3,4, currently rolling out in Deep Research, Copilot can surface timely insights and suggest next steps based on your recent activity or research threads. This helps you stay ahead without starting from scratch. It’s another way Copilot moves from reactive answers to proactive support, keeping your work moving forward effortlessly. 

Empowering your health, learning and wellbeing 

Health and Education are two of the top use cases for AI chatbots and areas where we see huge opportunity for Copilot to add value.

Copilot for health⁵ addresses one of the most common user needs: health-related questions. We’ve improved how we ground responses in credible sources like Harvard Health to empower users with reliable information. Copilot also helps you find the right doctors quickly and confidently, matching based on specialty, location, language, and other preferences. The goal is simple: to help you take control of your health by empowering you with high-quality information and connecting you to the right care fast. Click here to learn more about Copilot for health. 

Education is another area where Copilot shines. With Learn Live¹, Copilot becomes a voice-enabled, Socratic tutor that guides you through concepts instead of just giving answers. It uses questions, visual cues, and interactive whiteboards to make learning stick, whether you’re preparing for finals, practicing a new language, or exploring a new subject.   

Putting Copilot to Work for you in Edge, Windows, and more. The ability to just talk to your computer and have it understand you is a game changer for how we will interact with the browser and the PC.  

Copilot Mode in Edge⁶ is evolving into an AI browser that is your dynamic, intelligent companion. With your permission, Copilot can see and reason over your open tabs, summarize and compare information, and even take Actions like booking a hotel or filling out forms. Voice-only navigation enables hands-free browsing. We’re also introducing Journeys, which organizes past browsing into meaningful storylines so you can revisit ideas and resume tasks without retracing steps. You stay in control at every step with clear privacy protections and opt-in settings. Click here to learn more about our AI browser. 

Copilot on Windows is turning every Windows 11 PC into an AI PC, making everyday tasks easier and more intuitive. Grounded in the familiar, the new experience shows simple ways Copilot complements what you already do, such as brainstorming ideas or troubleshooting issues, so you can stay focused on what matters. With the new wake word “Hey Copilot,” you can start a conversation anytime the feature is enabled and your PC is unlocked. From the new Copilot home, you can jump back into recent files, apps, and conversations, helping you pick up right where you left off. Copilot can open and summarize files, guide you through tasks in real time with Copilot Vision, and soon, you’ll be able to interact via text for even more flexibility.  

Beyond Edge and Windows, we are introducing new capabilities that make Copilot even more useful. Pages – our canvas for collaboration – now offers multi-file upload, supporting up to 10 files across common document, image, and text formats. Copilot Search combines AI-generated answers with traditional results in one view, providing clear, cited responses for faster and more trustworthy discovery. Together, these updates make Copilot a smarter, more integrated experience that helps you turn ideas into action with less effort.  

At the foundation of it all is our strategy to put the best models to work for you – both those we build and those we don’t. Over the past few months, we have released in-house models like MAI-Voice-1, MAI-1-Preview and MAI-Vision-1 and are rapidly iterating. The product integration of these models has just begun but this model work is essential to our long-term vision for Copilot and paves the way for more immersive, creative and dynamic experiences inside our products.  

Get Started  

All our updates are live now in the US, and rolling out fast across the UK, Canada, and beyond in the next few weeks. Specific feature availability may vary by market, device, and platform. You can learn more about today’s announcements and hear from the product teams building Copilot here. And get started with Copilot today by downloading the app for iOS and Android or by visiting copilot.microsoft.com in Microsoft Edge or another browser. Tell us what you think, where we can be better, and share your ideas for what’s next. Human-centered AI starts with human feedback.

 Today, as part of Copilot Labs, we’re introducing Copilot Portraits: a series of animated portraits that add to the Copilot Voice experience. These 40 pre-selected, stylized portraits include real-time voice and animations during conversations, providing a more natural flow than text-based interactions.  

 Portraits are great for when you want to brainstorm ideas, practice for an upcoming interview, or are curious about exploring a new topic. Each portrait is intentionally stylized and not photorealistic, offering you visual variety while offering the same trusted Copilot intelligence and safety features you rely on. 

We’re making Portraits available to a limited set of users today in Canada, the UK and the US through Copilot Labs. To get started, go to the Portraits section of the Copilot Labs page, browse and select the portrait that fits your preference, then choose a voice that feels right for the conversation. From there you can start a voice conversation with your portrait. 

We’re taking our time with this experiment to ensure we’re providing a positive, safe, and engaging experience for everyone. In addition to maintaining the same guardrails and content filters already available through Copilot, we’re encouraging healthy usage by implementing time limits per session and per day. Portraits are only available to users 18 years or older, and we are providing clear indicators that you are interacting with AI technology. We’re going to garner feedback and continue iterating on the feature before we make it more broadly available.  

Please give Portraits a try today and share your feedback. We’ll continue to share updates as we roll Portraits out to more people over time.

Redmond, Wash., August 27—Today, we’re announcing the launch of Copilot on select Samsung TVs and monitors, transforming the biggest screen in your home into your most personal and helpful companion—and it’s free to use.  

Copilot makes your TV easier and more fun to use with its voice-powered interface, friendly on-screen character, and simple visual cards. Now you can quickly find what you’re looking for and discover new favorites right from your living room.   

Because it lives on the biggest screen in the home, Copilot is a social experience—something you can use together with family and friends to spark conversations, help groups decide what to watch, and turn the TV into a shared space for curiosity and connection. 

“Copilot on Samsung TVs and monitors brings AI out of your pocket and into the heart of your home,” said David Washington, Partner General Manager, Microsoft AI. “It’s there when you and your family want to discover something to watch together, get answers to your questions, plan your weekend, or simply hang out.” 

Built on partnership 

Microsoft and Samsung have a long history of bringing the best of technology together, from Windows and Office on Galaxy devices to Xbox Cloud Gaming on Samsung TVs. This collaboration brings that same spirit of innovation to Copilot, making your TV smarter, more personal, and more fun. 

For recaps, rabbit holes, and everything in-between 

Copilot shines when it comes to finding your next favorite thing to watch, but it’s also there for the little questions, big plans, and everyday moments in between. 

• Custom, spoiler-free recaps: “I want to get back into The Crown, I left off at Season 3, Episode 4. What happened up until then?” 

• Ultra-specific recommendations: “Like The Queen’s Gambit, but about cooking instead of chess, and under two hours.”  

• Group-friendly picks: “Hannah likes rom-coms, David likes sci-fi, Mark likes thrillers. What’s something we’ll all like?” Perfect for when everyone’s gathered in the living room and you want to decide together.  

• Post-watch deep dives: “Who was the voice actor for that character?” or “What else has the director done?” 

• Everyday help: “Will Saturday in Seattle be good conditions for hiking?” or “Cheer me up after a breakup.”  

A more visual, more personal experience 

Copilot’s appearance is a friendly, animated presence on your TV that reacts and lip-syncs as it speaks, with expressions that match the tone of the conversation. It’s a visible reminder that your companion is listening, thinking, and responding just for you. 

And when Copilot answers, it doesn’t just tell you; it shows you. Movies, weather, and image results appear as rich, glanceable cards designed for the big screen, complete with ratings, photos, and key details. 

How it works 

1. Activate Copilot: Copilot will roll out automatically on select Samsung TVs. Users can see Copilot (on the Apps Tab) at the Samsung Tizen OS home Samsung Daily+. Press the mic button on your Samsung remote and speak naturally. 

2. (Optional) Sign in for a personal touch: Use a quick QR code to connect your Microsoft account and unlock Copilot’s personalization, memory, and preferences for you.  

3. Ask for what you want: Whether it’s a title, a question, or advice, Copilot understands. 

4. See and hear your answer: Watch Copilot respond with a mix of visuals and voice. 

Availability 
Copilot launches in the 2025 lineup of Samsung TVs and monitors ^[1] and is now available, with more model years and features to follow. The experience is available at no cost. 

^[1] Copilot is available on 2025 TV models including Micro RGB, Neo QLED, OLED, The Frame Pro, The Frame, as well as the M7, M8, and M9 Smart Monitors. Copilot is available in select markets. Availability will expand to additional regions and models over time and experience may vary by market.

Integrate your shopping experience with Copilot to help your brand gain visibility, acquire more customers and generate sales, all from a convenient centralized location with AI support at every step. Once you’re in the Copilot Merchant Program you can also share key product specifications with us, ensuring we have up-to-date details on all your items, so that they are suggested to customers properly.  

To get started, sign-up via the Copilot Merchant Interest Form located here.

What does this mean? What does it look like? What does it do? Truth is, there’s no single answer that captures it. Because it’s going to look and feel a little different for each of us.

An AI companion is completely personal, built around individual needs, values and expectations. That’s why ultimately, there will be as many different Copilots as there are people using them. Today, we are embarking on the journey to take Copilot from an AI companion to your AI companion.

With your permission, Copilot will now remember what you talk about, so it learns your likes and dislikes and details about your life: the name of your dog, that tricky project at work, what keeps you motivated to stick to your new workout routine.

Copilot will understand you in the context of your life, and show up, on your terms, in the right way at the right time. This is far richer, more dynamic, supportive and emergent than any software we’ve seen before. It’s a new kind of relationship with technology, a new era.

Of course, we’re also focusing on the fundamentals: engaging personality, incredible search capability, custom-made answer cards, bespoke podcasts. With Deep Research you have a world-class researcher working alongside you. With Shopping, a trusted, impartial partner, looking out for the best products and deals. With Actions, let Copilot shoulder some of the burden, from scoring the gig tickets to sorting the ride home. Our new Windows app means your computer finally works on your behalf. And now with Copilot Vision on Mobile, Copilot can see what you see, responding in real time to create a shared understanding of your world.

But the important point is that throughout Copilot is more than an AI, it’s yours. It remembers not just what you said, but who you are. Copilot helps you stay organized, think clearly, learn more intuitively. It’s there when you need a quick factual answer, a long exploratory debate or when you fancy just downloading after a hard day.

Every day we hear the most incredible stories about the many and varied ways people enjoy Copilot. So, as we continue on our journey to create a Copilot for everyone, we’re focusing on one critical goal: to make it truly yours. Each will have its own unique style and blend of attributes that distinctly suit each and every one of us. All the while, we’ll stick to our core promise. You remain in control, you are the pilot and you make the calls and set the boundaries.

We can’t wait for you to discover your personal Copilot.

Mustafa Suleyman, Executive Vice President and CEO of Microsoft AI

Today, we announced a set of new updates that represent the next chapter in our vision to deliver a true AI companion — helping make AI more useful by making it more personal.

Memory and Personalization

Memory is essential for creating a true AI companion. With Memory, Copilot can remember important details: your favorite food, the types of films you enjoy and your nephew’s birthday and his interests. As you interact with Copilot, it notes your preferences, building a richer user profile and offering tailored solutions, proactive suggestions and timely reminders. Copilot prioritizes security and privacy, giving you control through the user dashboard and the option to choose which types of information it remembers about you or to opt out entirely. You remain in control.

As we explore the full range of what true personalization means, we are experimenting with new ways for you to interact with your Copilot. For example, what if your Copilot had an appearance and you could shape and form it to be whatever you want? We’re early in this thinking but soon you’ll have the ability to personalize Copilot and interact with your AI companion in a fun way while it offers advice and support when you want it. You can strike up a conversation with Copilot and now have an entertaining appearance that’s unique to you.

Actions

Another key advancement that makes Copilot a helpful AI companion is its ability to now take action on your behalf. With Actions, Copilot can now partner with you to complete tasks behind the scenes. Use simple chat prompts to ask Copilot to book event tickets, grab dinner reservations or send a thoughtful gift to a friend and it will check that task off your list. Copilot Actions will work with most websites across the web, and we’re particularly excited to highlight our launch partners: 1-800-Flowers.com, Booking.com, Expedia, Kayak, OpenTable, Priceline, Tripadvisor, Skyscanner, Viator and Vrbo.

Copilot Vision

We introduced Vision in Copilot for the web late last year and now we’re bringing it to mobile and Windows.

• Copilot and your phone’s camera now enable an interactive experience with the real world, in real time. From the Copilot app on your phone, you can look around at your surroundings and request information, guidance or ideas. It can analyze both real-time video from the camera and photos stored on your camera roll. For example, use Vision to improve plant health by asking it to examine your plants and suggest actions, or to scan your office and provide tips on decoration. Vision on Mobile is available today in the Copilot app for iOS and Android.
• The new native Windows app will allow you to call upon Copilot while working across multiple applications, browser tabs or files. It will read the screen and interact with the content. You’ll be able to use Copilot to search, change settings, organize files and collaborate on projects without switching between files or apps. The Copilot app can be accessed by hitting Alt+Space or holding Alt+Space for two seconds to use voice commands. The native Copilot app for Windows is available today. Vision will be available first for Windows Insiders starting next week and will be rolled out more broadly afterwards.

Pages

Copilot now provides a way to organize your thoughts and content from chaos to calm. It takes all your scattered notes, content, research — whatever it is — and puts it in a canvas that Copilot organizes, simplifies and helps you with from your first rough draft to your very final edits. Pages lets you refine, iterate and keep the conversation going whenever you need it.

Podcasts

Copilot can now generate AI-powered podcasts that curate and deliver personalized audio content based on your interests. Podcasts give you an easy, engaging and different way to consume information with minimal effort. Copilot can create a personalized podcast to analyze and compare options like with a vacation plan or home purchase or you can provide content to Copilot like a study or specific web sites and Copilot will generate a podcast that helps explain the topic. While listening, you can continue to talk and interact with Copilot to learn more and keep the conversations going. It’s a daily audio solution that helps you solve tough problems, explore a new hobby or just enjoy an easy to digest solution to all that endless scrolling.

Shopping

Copilot is now your personal shopper: on your side, doing the research, building comparisons, offering advice. It lets you know about price drops and sales and will let you purchase directly from the app. Shopping with Copilot is the easy solution to find the products and services you love.

Deep Research

Deep Research is a new feature for Copilot that lets you conduct complex, multi-step research tasks more efficiently — shaving hours off the time it would normally take to complete. Copilot can find, analyze and combine information from online sources or large amounts of documents and images.

Copilot Search

Copilot Search in Bing transforms web search by bringing traditional and generative search together. It cross-checks information across multiple sites to deliver detailed, comprehensive responses directly in Bing, complete with helpful cited sources and suggestions for further exploration. You can learn more about Copilot Search here.

We’re beginning to roll out the initial versions of these new experiences starting today. We will continue to expand availability in the coming weeks and months, which will vary by platform, market and language as we work through the rollout process. We will continue to listen to feedback from customers, adjusting and refining these experiences over time.

If you haven’t tried Copilot yet, download the app for free today at the Microsoft Store or at app stores for iOS, Mac or Android, experience the best AI companion for Windows on a Copilot+ PC or use Copilot on the web at copilot.microsoft.com. Thank you for being on this journey with us and here’s to the next 50 years of Microsoft.

We are seeing a lot of excitement for Voice and Think Deeper and we know many of you have been hitting limits. This should help. And if you haven’t tried some of these experiences yet, there has never been a better time.

Use Voice to practice a few simple phrases in a new language to help you navigate when visiting a new country or meeting new people, tell Copilot about a job you’re applying for and your work experience and ask it to mock interview you, or get some hands-free cooking advice as you follow a new recipe step by step.

Think Deeper is helpful for tackling more complex topics like making a big purchase, assessing the future value of a home renovation or planning a career move. Here are some prompt ideas to get you started:

• Compare the best electric cars. I usually prioritize design and comfort, and I want to feel like my purchase is ‘future-proof’. Make a novel scoring system to help me with my assessment.
• I have $15K to use on a home renovation. I’m deciding between a kitchen island, updated bathroom, or replacing the roof. What would increase the value of my home more over the next 3 years?
• I live in a neighborhood that has power outage every time there is high wind. Should I buy a generator? What are the pros and cons, things I should consider, and impact to my budget, and convenience.

We are working hard to scale unlimited access to advanced features to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, starting today with Voice and Think Deeper. It’s worth noting you may experience delays or interruptions during periods of high demand or if we detect security concerns, misuse or other violations of the Copilot Terms.

Copilot Pro users will retain preferred access to our latest models during peak usage, early access to experimental AI features (more on that coming soon), and additional use of Copilot in select Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Thank you to everyone using Copilot and sharing feedback! Your input on what works and what needs improvement helps us make Copilot better and do more for everyone. We love hearing from you, so keep the feedback coming.
