Native Copilot for Windows released: new design, voice control, and more

Published by Vadym Karpus

Microsoft has finally released a full-fledged native version of Copilot for Windows. This happened almost a year after the company turned it into a regular web application. This week, members of the Windows Insider program got access to the updated Copilot, built using native XAML. It has a new sidebar and an improved interface.

Now the Copilot app on Windows is designed to look like of the recently released Copilot for macOSwhich allows you to upload images, generate text or new images. It is also possible to interact with Copilot using a microphone and view the history of conversations in the updated sidebar.

Microsoft first integrated Copilot into Windows 11 as a «personal assistant» built into the operating system. However, a year later, this integration was removed in favor of a simple web version, making Copilot less useful for the new Copilot+ series PCs. The company added a few keyboard shortcuts and made Copilot look less like a web application, but this week it received a much improved look.

The updated Copilot app will first be available to all Windows Insider program members through the Microsoft Store. It is expected to be available on all Windows 11 PCs in the coming weeks.

Recently, Microsoft eliminated the «annoying» error in Copilot, which gave tips on how to activate pirated Windows 11.
