Microsoft Launches AI-Powered Copilot App for macOS, Boosts Productivity with New Features
February 28, 2025
Microsoft has launched a new Copilot app for macOS, designed to bring powerful AI capabilities to Mac users.
Currently available in the US, UK, and Canada, the app allows users to access a web-based version for uploading and generating images or text.
The app features a history function that enables users to save their interaction history and customize outputs to better suit their needs.
Users can log in using their Apple ID, which streamlines the experience and enhances voice interaction capabilities for more intelligent responses.
Key features include AI-powered conversations that facilitate natural interactions through typing or voice commands, providing quick responses to complex queries.
Copilot assists users in drafting emails, writing cover letters, updating resumes, and proofreading text in multiple languages, significantly enhancing writing and editing processes.
The AI assistant can generate text, summarize content, and assist with various tasks, positioning Microsoft to compete effectively against AI tools from Google and others.
Recently, Microsoft added Copilot AI features to its Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscription plans, with an additional cost for full features.
Notably, features like 'Voice' and 'Think Deeper' were made available for free just before the macOS launch, allowing users unlimited access to these functions.
The app will soon introduce document summarization capabilities, enabling users to upload text or PDF files and generate summaries or ask questions about them.
While the app is free to use, there is also a paid Copilot Pro subscription available, granting access to the latest AI models.
Overall, the Copilot app aims to streamline workflows and improve productivity for Mac users, marking a significant advancement in the productivity landscape.
