- Microsoft Copilot Voice Mode is now free
- Think deeper traits are also now free to use
- Voice and think deeper drives by Openai models
Microsoft Copilot takes a page from Openai’s strategy for chatgpt and makes his voice and thinks deeper features available to all users. This is not surprising as Openai’s models operate the copilot features. However, making them available to Copilot users who do not pay for a subscription to the Premium service could make them much more widespread.
Voice mode is exactly what it sounds like: Instead of writing your queries, you can now have an actual conversation with copilot. AI can help you practice sentences in French, help you make something complicated without smearing your phone screen with olive oil or responding sympathetically to a rant about traffic.
Think deeper is built to deal with more complex questions than just the weather or trivia. Suppose you are discussing whether you should spend a recent wind fall on a rebuilding of the bathroom or a generator to help with the next wind storm. Ask Copilot to use think deeper and it can break down costs, long -term value and trade -offs. AI could also create a scoring system that helps you decide what kind of car you should get based on your preferences in design, comfort, future -proofing and other factors.
This update is Microsoft’s way of making AI more accessible and honestly more helpful. Before now, many users might have become frustrated across the boundaries of these features, but were still reluctant to pay for the Copilot Pro. The end result may just be the ones that change to another AI -Chatbot. However, Microsoft warns that things in periods of high demand could slow down a bit.
Copilot Pro
For those who already pay for Copilot Pro, nothing is removed either. Pro users still get first DIBS on new AI features plus priority access in peak times, which is useful if you need Copilot’s brain forces in the middle of a busy day. They also still have exclusive extra AI integrations within Microsoft 365 apps. So if your idea of excitement is to have Copilot help you build the most effective Excel spreadsheets of all time, Pro is still the way to go.
In the end, Microsoft wants copilot to be something you and everyone you know actually want to interact with. The more natural the conversation, the more useful AI becomes. By bringing these features to all free, Microsoft as well as his partner Openai also puts pressure on its competitors. Many AI tools have been locked behind Paywalls, where companies reserve the best features for those who are willing to subscribe. But Microsoft, who flips Switch on unlimited access, means that other AI providers may need to follow. The race is no longer just about who has the smartest AI, but who makes it the most accessible and practical.
