New share link features for Copilot in Edge — @Leopeva64

Microsoft has added a new share button to Copilot in Edge, allowing users to share AI chat conversations with others more easily by creating a shareable link, as MSPowerUser reports. The update, available now, also expands the “Think Deeper” feature to all users, enhancing AI responses with deeper reasoning.

With this addition, Microsoft is making Copilot on Edge more like its website and mobile apps for a more consistent experience. For instance, on copilot.microsoft.com, you can chat with AI without signing up, similar to ChatGPT’s web search. However, unlike Edge’s side panel, the web version doesn’t yet support sharing AI chats, but let’s hope it does soon.

Furthermore, Microsoft keeps offering goodies, expanding the “Think Deeper” feature to all users, not just Copilot Pro subscribers. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman shares via X that it would be available to all users and calls it truly magical.

What does the “Think Deeper” feature do? It was trained to “think before it speaks” and offers advanced reasoning for career advice, problem-solving, STEM-related tasks like coding, advanced math problems, and more. Therefore, it takes a little longer to respond, around 30 seconds, according to Microsoft. Microsoft is making the feature, powered by OpenAI’s o1 model, available even to free users. This is excellent news since it allows you to use it without dropping a serious coin.

This isn’t the only change Microsoft has made since last year. The software giant also updated Copilot’s design on Windows 10,11 and mobile, adding Copilot Voice and Copilot Vision features. Time will tell what other feature will reach all users.

Microsoft has revealed one of its recent ads uses gen AI — can you tell?

Shot from a Microsoft advert.

In January, Microsoft released a minute-long advert for its Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. It currently has 42,000 views on YouTube with 302 comments discussing the hardware -- what the comments don't mention, however, is the AI-generated shots used in the ad. Why? Because no one even realized AI was involved until Microsoft smugly revealed it this week.

You can tell the company is proud of this little stunt it's pulled off because the blog about it begins with a dramatic summary of the history of film and how it has evolved -- implying generative AI tools are the next step in this grand evolution.

Microsoft Edge Canary new tab page replaces MSN with Copilot

Microsoft Edge appears on a computer screen with plants and a window in the background.

Microsoft is testing a new Copilot-powered interface in the Canary version of Edge, replacing the MSN feed on the New Tab Page in an attempt to streamline browsing, according to Windows Latest. Users can enable it via experimental flags.

If the new design rolls out to the stable version, Copilot will replace the familiar MSN feed as the first thing you see when you open a new tab. You'll see a compose box in an uncluttered design with a greeting message that asks, "How can I help you today?"

Exclusive: Copilot’s native Spanish is a ‘game changer,’ says Microsoft expert

AI brands continue to promise more uniform and human-like experiences for their products, and Microsoft is no different. The brand is working to make the features of its AI assistant more cohesive with the everyday world. This includes a more authentic Spanish language voice for its Copilot product. The company rolled out its Copilot Voice feature last October, which it will soon update with native Spanish speaking-voices to cater to the Latino community in the U.S. and globally.

Enter Elm and Alder, Copilot’s native Spanish voices. The AI can detect when Spanish is being spoken and respond seamlessly in fluent Spanish with a native accent. Similarly, it expresses a native accent while speaking English in the Spanish setting. I spoke with a Microsoft product expert to explore the process behind developing the new voices and the intent behind providing this unique language and cultural representation within Microsoft's AI suite.
