![Copilot Fall Release]()
Microsoft has announced the Copilot Fall Release, introducing a wave of new AI features across Edge, Windows, and Copilot apps that mark a major step toward building more personal, connected, and human-centered AI experiences.
This release deepens Microsoft’s vision of Copilot as an AI companion — one that helps users think, plan, and create while keeping people, not technology, at the center of innovation.
Technology should work in service of people — not the other way around,” said Mustafa Suleyman, EVP and CEO of Microsoft AI. “Copilot isn’t just a product; it’s a promise. A promise that AI can be helpful, supportive, and deeply personal — built to elevate human potential.”
A New Era of Human-Centered AI
The Copilot Fall Release introduces 12 major updates designed to make AI more personal, useful, and socially intelligent. Microsoft says the update reflects its philosophy of “AI that empowers human judgment, not replaces it.”
Key themes in the release include connection, personalization, memory, and trust — positioning Copilot as an adaptable assistant that helps users stay organized, learn, and collaborate more naturally.
AI That Connects Us
Microsoft’s newest Copilot features focus on making AI collaborative — a shift from solitary chat interactions to shared experiences.
Copilot Groups: Enables real-time collaboration with up to 32 participants. Users can brainstorm, co-write, or plan together, while Copilot keeps everyone aligned by summarizing threads, proposing ideas, and dividing tasks.
Imagine: A creative space where users can explore, remix, and share AI-generated ideas, fostering a social ecosystem for collaborative creativity.
AI should be social, not isolating,” Microsoft said. “With Groups and Imagine, Copilot helps people think and create together.”
AI That’s Personalized to You
Microsoft is emphasizing empathy and adaptability in Copilot’s personality and design:
Mico: A new expressive AI character — short for Microsoft Copilot — that reacts visually and emotionally during interactions. Mico can respond to tone, change color, and animate naturally during voice conversations, making AI feel more approachable and alive.

Real Talk: A new conversation style that brings a more grounded, emotionally aware tone. Copilot listens, challenges respectfully, and adapts to user preferences — building a more human relationship over time.
Copilot is designed to be empathetic and supportive, not sycophantic. It’s AI that listens, learns, and earns your trust,” the company said.
Deeper Memory and Shared Context
The release also introduces long-term memory and expanded connectors for multi-service integration:
Memory & Personalization: Copilot can now remember details like events, tasks, and goals (“I’m training for a marathon”) and bring them up naturally in future conversations. Users remain fully in control and can edit or delete memories anytime.
Connectors: Copilot now links services like OneDrive, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, allowing natural-language search across files, emails, and events — with explicit user consent.
Proactive Actions (preview): Copilot can now surface timely insights and next steps based on ongoing work or research, moving from reactive assistance to proactive support.
Empowering Health, Learning, and Wellbeing
Microsoft is expanding Copilot’s impact in health and education, two of AI’s most promising domains.
Copilot for Health: Provides trusted, evidence-based responses from credible sources such as Harvard Health, and helps users find doctors by specialty, location, and language — connecting them to care quickly and confidently.
Learn Live: A new voice-enabled, Socratic tutor mode that guides users through interactive lessons using questions, visual cues, and whiteboard-style diagrams — ideal for students and lifelong learners alike.
AI That Works Across Edge, Windows, and Beyond
Copilot Mode in Edge
Edge continues its evolution into a true AI browser. Copilot can now:
See and reason over open tabs
Summarize or compare web content
Perform Actions such as booking hotels or filling forms automatically
Use voice-only navigation for hands-free browsing
The update also introduces Journeys, which organizes browsing history into meaningful storylines so users can revisit projects or ideas without retracing steps.
Copilot in Windows
Every Windows 11 PC is becoming an AI PC. Copilot can now:
Open, summarize, and guide users through files in real time
Start conversations with the wake word “Hey Copilot”
Use Copilot Vision to provide step-by-step visual guidance
Offer a unified Copilot Home, connecting users to recent apps, files, and chats instantly
Copilot Pages & Search
Copilot now supports multi-file upload (up to 20 files at once) and introduces Copilot Search, combining AI-generated answers with traditional results for faster, more reliable discovery — with cited sources built in.
Powered by Microsoft’s AI Models
Microsoft also reaffirmed its commitment to continuous model innovation, noting that Copilot’s latest experiences are powered by both in-house and partner models.
Recent internal models include:
MAI-Voice-1 — for natural voice interaction
MAI-1 Preview — for reasoning and text understanding
MAI-Vision-1 — for multimodal visual interpretation
The product integration of these models has just begun,” Microsoft said. “They’re foundational to our long-term vision for immersive, creative, and dynamic AI experiences.
Availability
The Copilot Fall Release is live now in the U.S. and rolling out to the UK, Canada, and other markets in the coming weeks. Availability may vary by device and platform.
Users can try the latest updates by downloading the Copilot app for iOS or Android or visiting copilot.microsoft.com in Edge or another browser.
We’re building AI that gives you back time for the things that matter,” Suleyman said. “Human-centered AI starts with human feedback — and together, we can shape the future of AI companions that are more authentic, helpful, and deeply human.
