FAQ 

Why is Copilot leaving WhatsApp?

 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.

Welcome to Microsoft’s Copilot Release Notes. Here we’ll provide regular updates on what’s happening with Copilot, from new features to firmware updates and more.

GPT-5 now live in Microsoft Copilot

We’re excited to announce that GPT-5 is now available in Microsoft Copilot across all markets and platforms—including web, Windows, Mac, and mobile.

GPT‑5 is the most advanced AI system to date. It’s a unified system built to understand when to respond quickly and when to think more deeply, delivering expert-level results with less effort from you. At its core is a fast, high‑throughput model for everyday questions, a deeper reasoning model (GPT-5 thinking) for complex tasks, and a real‑time router that intelligently selects the right approach based on your intent and the conversation’s complexity.

With the new Smart Mode, Copilot automatically adapts to your task and routes you to the most capable model, removing the need to switch or guess. Whether you’re solving complex problems, writing creatively, or turning ideas into visuals, Smart Mode delivers the smartest, most intuitive experience yet.

This update is not only about faster or better responses. It’s designed to remove friction so you can focus on your ideas instead of the interface. That means more creativity and less configuration.

How to try it:

• Open Copilot on any device
• Select Smart Mode in the Composer
• Start exploring with GPT-5—free to try right now

We can’t wait to see how this helps unlock your creative flow. Try it today and experience the future of AI-powered productivity.

Copilot Mode now available in Microsoft Edge

Copilot Mode is a new experimental mode that enhances the way we browse. Copilot Mode adds intelligent AI capabilities that transform Edge into a proactive, streamlined assistant. By combining chat, search, and web navigation into a single input box, Copilot Mode helps users make sense of open tabs, anticipate tasks, and stay in flow all while meeting Microsoft’s high standards of security, privacy, and performance. You can speak naturally to Copilot, use it on any webpage, and soon organize your browsing into topic-based journeys. Advanced tasks like bookings and errands are coming soon, with privacy always protected.

Copilot Mode is free for a limited time and available now on Edge for Windows and Mac. Opt in anytime through your browser settings.

Try it today at aka.ms/copilot-mode.

Copilot Vision is now built into moto ai 

Copilot Vision is now just a tap away—fully integrated into moto ai¹ on select devices², including the latest motorola razr and edge devices. With this launch, users in the U.S and other regions worldwide³ can access Copilot Vision directly from their device. Just open moto ai and tap “Ask Copilot Vision” to begin.  

Copilot Vision turns your camera into an intelligent companion—powered by conversational AI that interprets what you see and responds instantly. Whether you’re enhancing your home decor, diving into new hobbies, or streamlining your travel experience, Copilot Vision delivers real-time, helpful insights.  

For example, plant-loving Motorola users can use their device’s front or back camera to analyze their plant’s health real-time. And razr users can do this directly from the external display or in tent mode, getting their questions answered without needing to flip open the device. It’s seamless, helpful, and always ready—right where you need it.  

With support for over 50 languages—just like Copilot Voice—Copilot Vision is designed to be intuitive, inclusive, and accessible for users around the world.  When it comes to privacy, users can feel comfortable knowing that they’re in full control—Copilot Vision only accesses the device’s camera or microphone when explicitly activated.   

Disclaimers  

1. Motorola Account login is required to access moto ai features. An internet or cellular connection is needed for functionality.
