New Delhi, March 8: Microsoft has embarked on a significant update journey for its Copilot application, transitioning it from a web-based interface to a native version designed specifically for Windows. This evolution comes nearly a year after the app’s initial launch as a simplified web application, marking a noteworthy enhancement in user experience for Windows Insiders.
Enhanced User Experience
The latest iteration of the Copilot app introduces a refined user interface, featuring a new side panel that streamlines the process of initiating conversations and reviewing chat history. This thoughtful design aims to facilitate a more intuitive interaction for users, allowing them to engage seamlessly with the app’s capabilities.
The Windows Insider Programme, a vibrant community comprising millions of Windows enthusiasts, plays a crucial role in this development. Members of this program are granted early access to new features, providing them with the unique opportunity to test and offer feedback on upcoming updates. This collaborative approach not only empowers users but also enables Microsoft engineers to refine the software based on real-world insights.
- Insiders can register for free to join the Windows Insider Programme.
- The program offers a preview of the latest features through Windows Insider Preview Builds.
As part of the rollout, Microsoft is distributing the updated Copilot app via the Microsoft Store, with the new features expected to reach all Windows 11 PCs in the coming weeks. The native XAML app is designed to enhance functionality, allowing users to ask questions specific to their version of Windows, with Copilot delivering tailored responses.
The update, identified as version 1.25023.101.0 and higher, is being released gradually across all Insider Channels. As such, not all users will receive the update simultaneously. To facilitate quick access to the Copilot app, users can utilize the Alt + Space keyboard shortcut on any PC or press the Copilot Key if they possess a Copilot+ PC.
