Microsoft's Copilot AI gets a voice and the ability to see websites you browse

Beyond debuting new features for Copilot AI PCs and Windows 11's 2024 update, Microsoft is also giving its Copilot AI a makeover on the web, mobile and desktop. That includes a slightly friendlier interface wherever you access it, along with new capabilities like Copilot Voice, which allows you to talk conversationally with the AI assistant. Ultimately, Microsoft is aiming for Copilot to be seen as more than just a party trick for generative AI search and image creation -- it's trying to make it a core part of your daily workflow. That starts with a cleaner and simpler UI that makes Copilot look different than a boring old search engine. You'll also be able to access Copilot from within Whatsapp, which could be useful if you want to avoid Meta's AI assistant.
