In a continual evolution of capabilities, Microsoft has unveiled its plans to introduce advanced features to Microsoft Copilot early next year, following the recent launch of the unified Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio. Looking ahead to 2024, Microsoft, as of December 5, announced its intention to integrate the OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo model into Copilot. This enhancement will empower users to address more intricate and prolonged tasks, further expanding the utility of Copilot. Currently undergoing testing with select users, the GPT-4 Turbo model is slated for integration into Microsoft Copilot in the upcoming weeks.
Moreover, users already have the ability to leverage Copilot for generating higher-quality images, thanks to an updated DALL-E 3 model. This improvement allows for the creation of images that are not only more accurate to the prompt but also of superior quality. These image-generation capabilities are readily accessible through bing.com/create or by prompting Copilot to create an image.
In a bid to enhance Copilot’s utility in coding scenarios, Microsoft is actively developing a code interpreter. This interpreter is designed to execute complex tasks such as accurate calculations, data analysis, coding, visualization, and mathematical operations. Currently undergoing testing with a select group of users, Microsoft aims to make the code interpreter widely available in the near future. Furthermore, Microsoft is integrating the GPT-4 with Vision model with Bing image search and web search data to provide enhanced image understanding for queries.
In a move to enrich the browsing experience, Microsoft has announced that Edge browser users will soon have the capability to utilize Copilot for rewriting text from most websites. This feature simplifies the process as users need only select the text they wish to change and prompt Copilot to rewrite it.
Notably, Microsoft has extended accessibility to Copilot, making it available to anyone on any device. This move aligns with the company’s commitment to democratizing access to advanced AI capabilities. Additionally, in mid-November, Microsoft introduced Copilot Studio, a low-code development tool tailored for customizing Microsoft Copilot within the Microsoft 365 environment and for building AI assistants, marking another stride towards empowering developers in AI-driven application development.
