The Comeback of a Native Copilot
Microsoft’s Copilot is back—and this time, it’s better than ever. After nearly a year of operating as a stripped-down web app, Copilot is returning to its roots as a fully native Windows application. This week, Windows Insiders are getting their hands on the revamped Copilot app, built using native XAML and sporting a fresh, modern interface.
The move marks a significant shift for Microsoft, which initially launched Copilot as an integrated feature in Windows 11 before downgrading it to a basic web app. Now, the tech giant is doubling down on its AI-powered assistant, delivering a more polished and functional experience that aligns with its vision for the future of Windows.
A Fresh Look and Enhanced Features
The new Copilot app isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s packed with features designed to make your life easier. The updated UI now mirrors the sleek design of the recently launched Copilot app for macOS, complete with a handy side panel for quick access to conversation history and tools.
But that’s not all. The app now supports image uploads, allowing users to generate text or images directly within the interface. Voice interactions are also smoother, thanks to improved microphone support. And for those who love shortcuts, Microsoft has added keyboard commands to streamline your workflow.
Why This Update Matters
This isn’t just another incremental update—it’s a statement. By bringing Copilot back as a native app, Microsoft is signaling its commitment to making AI a core part of the Windows experience. The move comes at a crucial time, as the company prepares to roll out its new Copilot Plus PCs, which promise to deliver cutting-edge AI capabilities.
For Windows Insiders, the new Copilot app is already available via the Microsoft Store, with a broader rollout expected in the coming weeks. Whether you’re a power user or just someone who loves staying ahead of the curve, this update is worth keeping an eye on.
