Microsoft ’s co-pilot had a rather splashy AI upgrade fest at the fellowship ’s late event . Microsoft made a amount of nine product announcements , which include theagentic caper promise Actions , Memory , Vision , Pages , Shopping , and Copilot Search .
A goodish few have already appeared on rival AI production such as Google ’s Gemini and OpenAI ’s ChatGPT , alongside much small players like Perplexity and internet browser - maker Opera . However , two products that have found some vocal fan - following with Gemini and ChatGPT have at long last landed on the Copilot platform .
Deep Research
Everyone is bragging on Deep Research these days . Gemini has it . ChatGPT does it , too . Even Perplexity built one . It was surprising to see why the vanilla Copilot experience has been lacking such a meaningful dick , despite Microsoft being one of OpenAI ’s closest partner and investor .
Well , that finally changes . Deep Research is now part of the co-pilot megabucks . The idea is jolly ego - explanatory . If you are look for a comprehensive , well - draught , and in - deepness report — instead of vague chatbot answers — Deep Research is where you go . This is what a Deep Research report looks like :
It looks up reliable sources , accumulate selective information in the form of a research written document ( consummate with all the cite source ) , and saves you hours upon hours of tedious manual research . I’ve loved its implementation on Gemini , and I ’m happy co-pilot is finally getting one .

“ Copilot can find , analyze and combine info from on-line source or orotund amounts of documents and images , ” says Microsoft . You do n’t even need a Microsoft account to launch a Deep Research query , and a Copilot Pro subscription is not mandatory .
Podcasts
AI podcasts first made a splash with Google ’s NotebookLM ware , and hardly a few weeks ago , it lastly made an appearance on Gemini . I commit it a attempt and incur it to be a moderately impressive tool that canturn even ho-hum entropy into an intriguing immersive listening experience .
Google bear on to these AI podcasts as audio overviews , but Microsoft is simply referring to them as podcasts . The overarch estimation is similar , but Microsoft is offering a duad of redundant perquisite .
You ca n’t interact with podcasts created by Google Gemini , but Copilot will let you intervene and summarize . “ While listening , you may continue to verbalize and interact with Copilot to hear more and keep the conversations going , ” enunciate the company .

A nerveless scene is that co-pilot can turn offline resources you upload , as well as the websites you suggest , into podcasts . Anotherfeature that tie into the theme is Copilot Search , which is essentiallyGoogle Search AI mode , but for Microsoft ’s Bing engine .
