From PC World: First there was Clippy. Now Microsoft Copilot has a face, with reactions to what you tell it.
Microsoft is showing off how Copilot could “look”: as an anthropomorphic teardrop of sorts, with expressions that react to your interactions in real time. The discovery was reported Friday by The Verge.
Right now, the new look of Copilot is being presented to a limited number of users. Microsoft’s web page shows how to discover if you have it: by opening Copilot, clicking the “mic” icon to launch verbal interactions with Copilot, then clicking the “gear,” or settings, icon. That will open up the options to toggle the “appearance” off or on.
“What if you could see Copilot react and speak as you chat?” Microsoft says. “With this experiment, we are bringing more non-verbal communication to Copilot, enhancing voice conversations with real-time visual expression. This early prototype allows you to chat, brainstorm, seek advice, or just mess around with Copilot, in a more engaging and expressive way.”
