Microsoft showcased the redesigned Copilot app forWindows 11 24H2during theMicrosoft Build 2024event. The changes are currently limited to Windows 11 Insiders, and many of them have reported that the Copilot app UI closely resembles ChatGPT.

First, about the new app: Copilot is now available as a standalone app, pinned to the center of the taskbar by default, instead of a flyout menu kind of UI, as was the case earlier. You can resize or reposition the window, just like any other app.

You will find a text box in the center, which is where the conversations will take place. Then, the recent conversations are listed in the left navigation pane, with theNotebookandPluginsoptions listed at the bottom-left corner.

If you have used OpenAI’s AI-powered assistant, the resemblance between the Copilot app in Windows 11 and ChatGPT should be evident right away.

This begs the question, is this a well-thought-out strategy or a random coincidence?

Our research highlights two critical aspects indicating that Microsoft designed the UI on purpose and for all the right reasons. Here’s why:

Microsoft has billions worth of investment in OpenAI, and even during the recent leadership crisis, the Redmond-based tech giant stepped in to diffuse the situation, ultimately leading toSam Altmanbeing reinstated as the CEO of OpenAI.

Nonetheless, the UI aspect isn’t that big a deal, especially asMicrosoft plans to integrateGPT-4ointo Copilotfor a more personalized experience. It’s thecapabilities of Copilot in Windowsthat one needs to focus on!

To preview the new Copilot app, you caninstallWindows 11 24H2, either by switching to theRelease Previewchannel or downloading theISOfromMicrosoft’s website.
