One year after fully adopting generative AI chatbots, Microsoft gives Copilot a fresh coat of paint. Co-pilot now has a cleaner design on the Web and in its mobile applications. The company said the chatbot's responses are clearer, while Copilot will display a carousel of suggested prompts to highlight what it can do.
The redesign comes just before the Super Bowl. Microsoft is airing an ad for the big game for the first time in four years. The ad features Copilot (surprisingly enough) and some of the things users can do with the chatbot's mobile app.
Microsoft launched AI-powered Bing Chat . The company claims that so far, people have participated in 5 billion chats and generated 5 billion images through its various Copilot experiences. He notes that Copilot (which is now his catch-all brand for chatbots, with “Bing Chat” being phased out) helped him increase the market share of Bing and Edge, although perhaps as we would have hoped.
Meanwhile, Copilot now offers more image editing and creation options. Designer in Copilot (at least in some territories) now allows you to edit images you've generated without having to leave the chatbot. You can turn an image into pixel art or blur the background, for example. Pro Co-Driver Subscribers can resize images between landscape and square formats and regenerate them without having to leave the chat. Microsoft will also soon launch Designer GPT in Copilot. It says this will provide users with “an immersive, dedicated canvas inside Copilot where you can visualize your ideas.”
