Overview

• Copilot now appears in the Windows 11 taskbar, taking over the search box and exposing Vision and Voice icons.
• The "Hey Copilot" voice mode begins reaching millions this week, with a microphone indicator when listening and a "Goodbye" command to stop.
• Copilot Vision gains screen awareness for on-device guidance and will accept text input in addition to speech.
• New Copilot Actions enter Copilot Labs for Insiders to let the assistant search, summarize and sort local files and move content between apps, with Microsoft warning early errors are expected.
• Users can link services like Google Drive and Gmail under explicit permission, and dedicated NPUs are not required though Copilot+ PCs may run features faster.
