Today,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0dropping the Copilot Fall Release, a big step forward in making AI more personal, useful, and human-centered.\u202f There\u2019s\u00a0a lot of noise around AI. Headlines, hype, fear.\u202f<\/p>\n
At Microsoft AI, we want to change\u00a0the\u00a0outlook.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u2019re\u00a0betting on optimism in a time of cynicism. Instead of tech that demands more attention,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0making tech that gives you back time for the things that matter. Instead of AI that replaces human judgment,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0building AI that empowers your own \u2013 helping you make better decisions, spark your creativity, deepen your connections.\u202f<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s\u00a0the simple idea I keep coming back\u00a0to:\u00a0technology should work in\u00a0service\u00a0of people. Not the other way around. Ever.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s\u00a0the principle behind\u00a0Copilot. In this,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0not just a product\u00a0\u2013\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a promise. A promise that AI can be helpful, supportive, and deeply personal.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0built around your creativity, your productivity, your\u00a0relationships. I often say you should judge an AI by how much it elevates human potential, not just by its own smarts.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is\u00a0the\u00a0measure for us; this is our\u00a0mission.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s\u00a0in this context that we talk about an AI companion. It helps you think, plan, and dream, but always on your terms. It adapts to your needs and context, remembers what matters to you, and learns from your feedback. And it looks out for your interests. As we build this,\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0not chasing engagement or\u00a0optimizing for\u00a0screen time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We\u2019re\u00a0building\u00a0AI\u00a0that gets you back to your life. That deepens human connection. That earns your trust.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n
This release is a milestone for what AI can deliver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Copilot\u00a0now connects you to yourself, to others, and to the tools you use every day.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0there for you, helps you stay organized, and even supports your health. It brings people together in shared chats, helps you learn with voice and visuals, and shows up with warmth, personality and even an appearance: Mico.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
When we started talking about this idea of an AI companion a few years\u00a0ago\u00a0it seemed distant and uncertain. Now\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0real,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0here. We\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0wait for you to feel the difference.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
