Feature Story

Microsoft just gave its AI assistant serious upgrades, and they’re creeping into real digital assistant territory:

  • It can now do things on websites—like book a table or hunt down flights for you.

  • It remembers your faves: food, movies, maybe even your coffee order. (Yes, you can turn that off.)

  • It watches your phone’s camera and answers what it sees—like “What plant is this?”

  • It tracks price drops and sales like a 24/7 deal scout.

  • On Windows, it’ll soon help organize files, tweak settings, and search your desktop.

  • It makes mini podcast-style summaries from articles and research.

  • A new “Pages” feature pulls scattered notes into one organized doc.

  • And it’s digging deep across the web and your files to answer complex questions.

Bottom line: Copilot’s no longer just clever—it’s useful. The question now isn’t what it can do, but how far you’ll let it go.
