Microsoft tests voice mode on the Copilot home screen and private chats

Microsoft is testing updates to Copilot, adding real-time voice responses from the home screen and a private chat option that doesn't store data or train models. These updates prioritize voice use and discretion in AI assistance.

🗞 #microsoftcopilot

Microsoft will bring Copilot Voice Mode directly to the Copilot home screen so that you can chat with Copilot Appearance (Avatar) right away.

Now you can select your preferred mode on Grok Projects between Auto, Fast, Expert and Heavy.

xAI keeps experimenting with the Grok model selector, where it will also be possible to select Grok model explicitly (again).

Will be handy when Grok 4.20 comes out 👀

Looks like background conversations on Grok will actually work within the same chat!
