Microsoft on Tuesday announced the rollout of new AI-powered features for all Copilot users, offering free, unlimited access to Voice and Think Deeper, powered by OpenAI’s o1 model.
The Copilot Team said Voice now supports longer conversations, while Think Deeper addresses tougher questions. “You can have an extended conversation with Copilot using Voice and take advantage of Think Deeper’s advanced reasoning models to tackle more complex questions or tasks anytime,” the team explained.
Voice and Think Deeper
Users can use Voice to learn simple phrases in a new language, conduct mock interviews for job applications, or get hands-free cooking advice for new recipes.
Think Deeper assists with complex tasks like making big purchases, assessing home renovation values, or planning career moves. Here are some example prompts:
- Compare the best electric cars based on design and comfort with a future-proof scoring system.
- Decide between a kitchen island, updated bathroom, or roof replacement for a $15,000 home renovation to increase home value over the next three years.
- Weigh the pros and cons of buying a generator for a neighborhood with frequent power outages, considering budget and convenience impacts.
The Copilot Team noted that users have been hitting feature limits, and this update removes those restrictions. “We are working hard to scale unlimited access to advanced features to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible,” the team stated.
However, Microsoft warned that during high-demand periods, users might face temporary delays or interruptions due to security concerns, misuse, or violations of Copilot’s terms.
Copilot Pro subscribers, a paid tier, retain priority access to the latest AI models during peak times, early testing of new features, and expanded use in Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, the team added.
Availability
The rollout began on February 25, 2025, and users can try Voice and Think Deeper for free at copilot.microsoft.com.
