Microsoft is rolling out an update for the Copilot app through the Microsoft Store, introducing several enhancements. A key feature is the "Hey, Copilot" wake word, allowing users to activate Copilot Voice hands-free. Users must enable this feature in the app's settings. Once activated, users can say "Hey, Copilot" followed by their query, and the Copilot interface will appear on the screen. Conversations can be ended by tapping the ‘X’ or automatically after a few moments of silence. The feature requires manual activation and will show that the microphone is in use when enabled. The wake word detection occurs locally, and no recordings are sent to the cloud until the wake word is recognized. The feature is available only in English and requires the PC to be powered on and unlocked. The update version 1.25051.10.0 and higher is being rolled out gradually to Insiders with English display language settings. Users can provide feedback through the app.

The Google Gemini app is set to receive enhancements that will integrate more features similar to Google Assistant while utilizing generative AI. The developer preview of Android 16 has introduced new APIs that may give Gemini greater control over various applications on Android devices. Currently, Gemini interacts with apps like YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail, Spotify, and WhatsApp through extensions, but the new APIs would allow developers to create additional integrations. There are also reports of an upgraded Gemini Live voice mode that could improve user engagement with YouTube content, enabling natural conversations about videos. Potential interface changes may allow users to pause and resume conversations from notifications in the status bar, enhancing the conversational experience.
