Microsoft introduces Copilot Labs with new AI features Think Deeper and Vision
Microsoft is introducing new features in its AI Copilot program with Copilot Labs, a platform designed to test advanced tools on a limited scale before releasing them widely. The goal is to gather user feedback and refine the features, prioritizing both innovation and safety.
The first feature being rolled out is called “Think Deeper.” This tool allows Copilot to handle more complex tasks, providing detailed, step-by-step responses to queries like math problems or project cost analysis. Think Deeper takes more time to process information and aims to deliver thorough answers. It is currently available to a limited number of Copilot Pro users in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
