Copilot just got a major upgrade with 12
new features. This includes
collaborative group chats, memory and
personalization, vision, co-pilot mode
in the Edge browser, and a whole lot
more. Plus, we're going to have a
special appearance by our old friend
Clippy. So, let's get started. The first
new feature is that co-pilot now has the
ability to store different memories. So,
for example, I'll say remember this
about me. I work at Microsoft the
education product group team as a group
product manager. Okay, it says I'll
remember this and now it's stored in
memories. And you might say, hey, where
are these memories actually stored? If
you go down here, click on your icon for
the name and go to manage memory. There
we go. You work at Microsoft and the
education product team. And I can delete
these memories or I can add to them. If
I hit add, it actually pops it in.
Remember this, I live in Newcastle,
Washington
and so on. You can also access memories
directly right here and it pulls up the
manage memory. If I want to delete this,
I can delete it. But now if I just ask
Copilot, where do I work and what job do
I have? All right, it remembered that.
Another aspect about C-pilot memory
that's nice is whether you're in your
web or desktop or phone, you can add or
delete your memories and it always keeps
everything in sync and you can access
them anywhere. And right on Q feature
number two, start a group. So, in the
upper right, you're going to see invite.
And just a note, this is rolled out to
the beta customers, meaning the early
adopters like me. If you're not seeing
this feature yet, it's going to roll out
broadly soon. And if you want to join
the Edge Insiders to get early build
access, I have a link in the description
below. But I do want to start a group. I
want to start a group to start planning
for my TPS report offsite in the spirit
of Office Space. So, I will click
invite. And I'm going to invite by link.
Now I've copied a link to the clipboard
and I'm going to go send this link to a
couple people. I'm going to send it to
Peter from Office Space and it makes it
up Pam from the office. They're going to
join in this chat and I'll show how it
works. And it looks like Pam said, "Hey
Mike, let's plan our TPS report
offsite." And co-pilot stepped in and
gave some ideas about where this could
be. Now it looks like Peter piped in and
said, "I prefer Woodenville Wine
Country." Okay, now co-pilot's going in
and suggesting specific venue options in
Woodenville. Oh, wow. This is great. So,
you can see both Peter joined and
Peter's commenting here. Pam has a
comment. So, I'm going to say, "I'd
rather start it at 9:00 a.m. since Bill
Lumbberg's an early bird." So,
Co-Pilot's going to kick in. Co-pilot
kicks in and suggests a different time.
So, now we're in a collaborative group
chat with Co-Pilot helping out with
these things. In the upper right, you're
going to see the people that were
invited. It's me and it's Pam and it's
Peter. Now, I could remove them if I
want. Maybe Peter's getting a little
sassy. I could remove him. I could also
end this chat or I could invite other
members. Maybe I want to have Bill
Lumbberg join in directly. Oh, Pam says,
"Please don't have Bill Lumbberg to this
chat." Okay, so Copilot said, "Don't
worry, this is a Lumbberg free zone.
Just us and the TPS magic." So, that is
group chatting within Copilot. The third
new feature is Copilot Vision. Now, this
is a really cool feature that rolled out
recently, but now it's being brought to
the phone as well as the browser. I'm
going to show it first in the Copilot
desktop. So, on my desktop in Windows
here, I'm going to launch the consumer
copilot. And here it is. And you're
going to see this little glasses icon.
There's also getting guidance with your
apps. I can select different apps. These
are apps that I've used recently. So,
for example, if I want to share OneNote,
I click here and it's going to ask me to
share OneNote because that app is open.
What it's going to do is share the
OneNote so co-pilot can see my screen.
>> Hey again, Mike.
>> Hey there. How's it going?
>> Looks like you're working on some
off-site notes in One Note. Need any
help with those TPS reports?
>> I do. And you know what? I'm doing a
demo right now so everyone can see what
you're saying. So, let's have a little
fun. What do you think the premereing
scribbles are? What are the key points
on this page you can help me out with?
>> You're in conference room 7B and the
coffee choices seem like a metaphor for
the mood. motivation or denial.
>> Yeah, I agree. You know what? Actually,
on this OneNote page, what I'm trying to
do, I actually I haven't used OneNote
very much. Can you help me find I'm
trying to find a specific button on the
page up on the top on the home tab? I'm
trying to find a button called dictate.
Can you point that out for me? The
dictate button.
>> I've marked the dictate button for you.
Give it a try.
>> Thank you. I'm just going to go up here
and click it.
And there I've got dictate going in one
note. You know what? That was super
helpful. I'm going to stop sharing now.
Well, let's stop. So, that's really cool
ways that Copilot can see your screen.
This also works on the iPhone. So, I can
share my screen to the iPhone when I'm
in Copilot. The brand new update that
was just announced recently is that
Copilot Vision is now coming to the Edge
browser. So, we're going to go back into
the browser. I'm here in Edge and we're
going to enable something that's called
C-Pilot mode. And this is a super cool
mode. It turns your browser into a full
AI browser. So go to the three dot menu
here. Go down to settings and I'm going
to see this AI innovations. And again,
if you don't see this yet, you don't
have the latest builds, but it's coming
out very soon. I'm on the early adopter
build. So AI innovations, and there's
this co-pilot mode. And I'm going to
turn this on. And actually a nice trick
to see if you're in co-pilot mode. Right
now there's just an icon. Watch what
happens when I flip this switch. Now it
says co-pilot. That's sort of a nice
little indicator that I'm in co-pilot
mode. And there's a bunch of different
features here. And I'm going to show
these features a little bit later. But
the feature I'm going to show now is I'm
going to show how co-pilot vision works.
So, first I'm going to open up a new web
page. Okay, it's my YouTube channel web
page. Now, I'm going to go up and click
Copilot here and I'm going to go and I'm
going to click the microphone and that's
going to trigger Copilot Vision.
[Music]
>> Hey Mike, what's on your mind today?
Hey, I'd like you to check out this
YouTube page and tell me what you see.
>> I'm looking at your YouTube channel.
It's packed with videos on Microsoft
product features, especially the snazzy
new ones.
>> Yeah, I'm curious what's along the
bottom row. What What type of videos do
you see along that popular videos?
>> On the bottom row, it's spotlighting
popular videos that cover useful tips on
Microsoft tools like OneNote, Forms, and
Teams. Thanks, Copilot. So, you can see
Co-Pilot can see any type of page that
you put up. It could be a blog. It could
be a YouTube page. And so, it allows
Copilot to watch and see your desktop.
You can talk about whatever's on the web
page, whether you're shopping, you're
traveling, whether you're looking at
YouTube. The fourth new feature is a new
voice mode for Copilot. And there's a
new little mascot called Mo. And that is
Microsoft Copilot. Mi then co. Get it?
Mo. So, if I want to talk to co-pilot, I
just click the little microphone here.
>> Hey, Mike. Glad you're back. So, what's
on your mind today?
>> Hey there, Mo. Hey, I'm going to show
some demos here. I'd like you to turn
purple. That's my favorite color.
>> There you go. I'm now a lovely shade of
purple.
>> Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to show how
people change you. I can change the
voice. So, maybe I want to go and I'm
going to choose Oh, Meadow. How's that?
>> Let's explore the world together.
>> That sounds good. What about Birch?
>> What do you think? Could we make a good
brainstorming?
>> I can get philosophical.
>> So, lots of different voices and I could
turn Mo off.
>> If I don't want any voice.
>> Hey. Hey, Mike. Great to have you back
here.
>> Hey, how's it going? Okay. I'm just
showing a demo. So, I'm going to turn
you off now.
And so, what's nice is it tracks that
entire conversation that I've been
having right here. That's a nice little
demo of voice mode. Now, before we go,
I'm going to show a little Easter egg
and we're going to make the real Clippy
appear. So, let's watch this. We're
going to turn it on.
>> Hey, Mike, you're back. Rain.
>> I can't wait to learn more.
>> And we're going to show Mo.
>> Hey, Mike. Welcome back.
>> Hey there. I'm going to show a little
Easter egg. Here we go. So, if you start
clicking on Mo a bunch of times, left
mouse click. It's Clippy. Clippy. It's
so great to see you again.
>> Oh, you found the secret. Yep. That's
Clippy popping in for a surprise visit.
Honestly, it's kind of fun to have a
little throwback guest appearance once
in a while.
>> It is. You would you call Clippy like
your great great great grand clip?
>> You know,
>> you know what? Let's roll with that.
Yeah.
>> Okay. Hey, thanks Clippy. It's been good
to see you. Secret Mo Clippy Easter egg.
The fifth new feature is some
interesting health care provider
integration directly into Copilot. So,
let's say I want to go and I want to
find a family care doctor near me. And
hey, I'm going to prefer a male doctor
in this case. So, I'll hit go.
Now, Copilot is integrated with Bing
Map. So, it pulls up where these people
are. It has all the details from the web
and there's a bunch of different doctors
near me in Newcastle. I can scroll down.
Now, if I want to go and search through
these and see where they're located, I
can easily do that. Now, let's say, oh,
James Park, he looks interesting. I want
to choose view details. Now co-pilot
pulls out the side pane has even more
information is education insurance. I
can view all these things right here. Oh
great, they take lots of different
insuranceances, languages that that
doctor speaks. I could even call
directly. So all that integration right
there in the co-pilot page and this
works for all sorts of different types
of health care scenarios. So you can
explore but all these things are now
packaged right directly into copilot.
The 16 new feature is enhanced searching
and citation updates in Copilot. So if I
drop quick response, there's this new
option called search and it answers with
enhanced references. So now I'm going to
go and I'm going to try to find all the
C-pilot updates in the fall release and
it's going to be searching out there and
give me extra references. So I'll hit
this and it's citing everything. It has
VentureB plus one. There's a lot of
different references here. And now
what's really nice is every single thing
is referenced. And at the bottom, I've
got a show all. And when I click this,
it shows all the different references
that it looked at. So, it's really
powerful in all these different places
that it were searching across. And so,
if you have this search turned on, it
enhances the references that it adds and
it makes it really easy to see all your
references all in one place. The seventh
new feature is a remix library. So, I'm
going to open up the sidebar here and
there's this new imagine option. I'll
choose this. And there's all sorts of
images that are being added in here by
the community. And you can go and you
can remix one. So maybe I want to go
here. Oh, this one looks kind of fun.
Hit remix and whimsical 3D rendered
furry creatures. I could copy that
prompt. Now I might say, "Hey, it's near
Halloween. Please make them into
Halloween inspired fuzzy creatures." Hit
go.
Oh, love it. There's my spookified
little friends. They're nice and fuzzy.
Now I can share this message in prompt.
So I can actually copy this link. I can
share it out on different social media
sites. Can send it to someone and I can
also download it just like here. So if I
want to download that, there we go. I
can save it. Now what I can do is go
back into image labs and just explore
all these different types of images. So
there's just a ton of cool stuff in here
that you can play around with and find
some inspiration. And there's also the
library right here. So any image you
create. So, it stores your image in the
library under images. And if you've done
things like created co-pilot pages, I
don't have any right here, or research
reports or podcast, it'll all be saved
in the library automatically. So, you
don't have to go and remember where
these things are. The eighth new feature
is learn live, which is an improvement
to the study and learn mode. So, I'm
going to drop the quick response and
we'll choose study and learn right here.
And now what I'm going to do is I'm
going to go in to hit the microphone and
let's do learn live.
[Music]
>> Hey Mike.
>> Hey there. I think I want to learn about
linear equations. Can you help me out
with that?
>> Yep. Got it. We'll dive right in and
take things step by step. Let's figure
out what you already know and then build
from there.
>> I don't know anything. Can we start from
the beginning? Let's keep it simple.
>> Absolutely. We can go back to square one
and keep things super simple. Let's
start from the basics and take it step
by step.
>> Oh yeah.
>> So let's break it down. In the simplest
terms, a linear equation is basically
just an equation that graphs as a
straight line. Now rather than me just
handing you the definition, let me ask
you, what do you think makes a line
nonlinear in comparison?
>> H a curved line maybe.
>> Exactly. You've got it. A nonlinear line
often curves or bends. So it's not just
a straight shot.
>> Okay. Hey, you know what? I think I'm
done for the day, but thank you for the
learn live demo, Mo. We'll see you
later.
>> And now all of my conversation about
study and learn was captured. Nice way
to get that learn live. You got a little
character. You can go back and forth
instead of just a wall of text. That's
the learn live that's built into study
and learn mode here. And if I want to
close this out, just hit X. The next set
of features are using co-pilot mode in
Edge. And just a reminder, we turned on
co-pilot mode earlier in this video. On
the settings page, if you go to AI
innovations, that's where you turn it
on. And I'm going to show some of the
features. Now, the ninth new feature is
a nice simple one, and that is it's
really easy to open up this co-pilot
button sort of in a mini mode. So, if I
do alt C, it opens this up, and I can
have a really nice quick access to
co-pilot and talk about any web page I'm
looking at. I can even pin this to keep
the sidebar open and it's sizable. I can
go backwards and forwards really easy. I
will unpin it. And the first question
is, you know, I'm looking to get a new
Copilot Plus PC, a Surface Laptop. Super
cool device. So, I'm going to ask a
little question. You know, can you make
any recommendations about this Copilot
Plus PC? So, it's going to read the web
page. It's going to take the knowledge
it has and give me some highlights. So,
hey, here's some highlights. It has
these in a table. processor, display,
battery life, what makes it stand out,
considerations. Great. A lot of cool
stuff here. Now, Copilot can start to
see across your tabs. So, I'm going to
pin this. Now, I've been doing some
research. Maybe I'm looking at here's a
Acer Copilot Plus PC and I've also I'm
looking at this Dell laptop. And so, now
I'm going to ask Copilot, hey, can you
look at the three tabs? Make a table
comparing the devices and the pros and
cons of each. at the end. I'm going to
make this a little bit wider and we'll
hit go. Copilot actions. It can look
across all my tabs and understand what
is in each web page. So, here it's
building a table. Oh, that's really
nice. The laptop, the Acer, the Dell.
It's got the price, processor, RAM.
Great. It's building a really nice,
super easy to read table. It's got pros
and cons of each below. So, being able
to easily see across all my tabs is
really cool. Okay. Now, what I'm going
to do is I'm going to close this and I'm
going to close this and let's just say
I'm browsing something else right now.
You know, I'm over here at the Microsoft
Education blog and I remembered, you
know what? I want to go check out that
Amazon laptop I was looking at. So,
we'll just do Alt C and I'll ask, hey,
can you find the Surface laptop info I
was looking at on Amazon earlier? So, it
searches my browser history. Okay, we're
going to open this up. Oh, it found the
exact details from what I was looking
at. It even has revisiting the page.
Here's the link. Okay, I'll just click
this. Now, that's going to bring me
right back to that page I was looking
at. Copilot has access to my browser
history. Now, it can't look at Infinity.
It just looks at a short amount of time,
the last few days. You can control this
also in your settings. So, you can say,
don't look at my history. So, if you're
worried about privacy, you can
completely turn this off as well. But
this is quite cool because now it can
remember what you've been doing. It can
see your browser tabs, and it can be
quite handy. You can go much deeper with
co-pilot actions and wire them up to
your Outlook email, Gmail, have them do
shopping for you. I'm not going to show
them in this video, but you should play
around and go deeper with Copilot
actions. The 11th new feature is a
really cool one, and that is you can
translate any video in real time to
different languages. And this can be on
YouTube or anything that you're looking
at in the browser. This is an edge
specific feature. So, I'm going to open
up this video right here.
>> Okay, so I'm talking in English. I'm
going to pause this. And if you hover,
you're going to see this little toolbar
come up with some options. And one of
them is translate audio. So, I'm going
to click this and I want to go and I'm
going to say I want to translate this
from English. And I'm going to choose
into Spanish. And there's going to be
more languages added over time, but
we'll choose Spanish. And now I'm going
to hit translate. It installs that
Spanish pack. Now, it's going to
translate. And now I'm going to hit
play.
Wow.
So it adds the full audio translation in
that other language. If I want to change
it to another language, maybe I want to
do Hindi. Now let's try Hindi.
>> Pretty incredible real-time translation
for any videos that you're watching in
Edge just by hovering and then choosing
this little translate audio button. The
12th new feature is a simple one but
really useful. If I hit the plus here,
my new tab is a co-pilot tab. And I've
got all my office apps right here and
other things that I might want to add
different links. But I can directly just
start using co-pilot by hitting that new
page tab right here. And the cursor goes
to here. If you want to change the
cursor to go back up to the web address,
I just go to the three dot menu into
settings,
go to AI innovations, and right here,
copilot new tab page. I can set
preferences here. And right here, focus
on the new tab page. I can turn that
off. So now when I hit the new tab, it
always goes to the address bar. But if
you want to have Copilot as your default
new tab, really easy to do. Now, if you
want to keep up with all the latest
Microsoft updates and tips and tricks,
subscribe to my channel and then just
ring the bell so you get all the latest
videos that I
