What better way to celebrate your first birthday than with a fresh coat of paint? Well, we could think of a few other ideas but Microsoft has gone with the paint option for Copilot.
Launched a year ago, Microsoft says Copilot’s web interface and mobile app (available on iOS and Android) now have “a more streamlined look and feel” which will supposedly make it easier to “bring your ideas to life” and “gain understanding about the world”. There’s also a “fun” new set of suggested prompts because some people need a little help imagining things.
Oh, and there’s a new Copilot Super Bowl ad
As luck would have it, this “significant new update” doesn’t only mark Copilot’s first birthday but also happily lands a few days before Super Bowl Sunday, the world’s biggest (and only) American football championship game. We don’t need to tell you it’s a big deal if you’re in America. For everyone else, the halftime show sometimes has a few good ads… we guess.
The new paint job and ad aren’t the only changes to emerge. Microsoft has also improved the platform’s image-editing and creation feature called ‘Designer in Copilot’. Free users can now edit their generated images inline without leaving the chat.
Those who cough up some cash for the Copilot Pro subscription can also resize or regenerate images. Finally, Microsoft also mentioned something called ‘Designer GPT’ that will roll out soon and provide a “dedicated canvas” within the platform so you can “visualize your ideas”.
Sounds riveting. Here’s the ad.
