Overview

  • Copilot Appearance adds a visual layer to Microsoft’s AI assistant by animating facial expressions and synchronizing voice responses in real time.
  • Access to the feature is limited to the web-based Copilot Labs preview and requires both a Copilot Pro subscription and an invitation.
  • The avatar incorporates conversational memory to recall earlier parts of a discussion and reference prior topics seamlessly.
  • There are no current plans for Windows or mobile integration as Copilot Appearance remains an experimental, browser-only feature.
  • Microsoft is gathering user feedback through its Discord community to refine the avatar and determine the scope of any broader rollout.
