Microsoft could be giving Copilot a tangible visual identity through Live Portraits, as part of its efforts to advance personal artificial intelligence.
🤖 Copilot's About to Show Its Face, Big Time
Microsoft's Copilot might just get a "face" upgrade, as per TestingCatalog's sneak peek at Live Portraits. This new feature, set to debut alongside updates to Copilot Pages and memories, allows users to pick customizable avatars. Though Live Portraits isn't currently accessible, TestingCatalog reports that the company is working on an exclusive interface where users can choose between various male and female visual styles.
In past endeavors, Copilot has flirted with the idea of character integration. Back in the day, TestingCatalog caught Microsoft developing two characters, Mika and Hiraki, along with four background images. These characters were essentially Microsoft's attempt to give Copilot a playful edge, as described by TestingCatalog. When a chat started, the characters would emerge from the background, waving at users.
The overall goal behind Live Portraits and the previous character experimentations is the same - to create a more tailored, interactive Copilot experience. Live Portraits, however, aspires for a more polished, human-like presence in contrast to the lighthearted, animated characters of Mika and Hiraki.
As for further improvements, TestingCatalog also noticed hints of "3D generations" internally, suggesting that Microsoft could delve into more dynamic, 3D characters beyond simple avatars.
While there's no definitive word on whether or when Microsoft plans to launch Live Portraits or the Copilot Characters, the company might integrate both. Such a move would offer a range of aids, spanning from cheerful characters like Mika and Hiraki, to more professional avatars.
Stay Tuned for More Updates on Copilot's Evolution
Whether you count on Copilot as your go-to AI buddy or are trying to show it the exit door, Microsoft is keen on reinforcing its assistant ambitions, and the Live Portraits feature is a testament to that. According to TestingCatalog, the features are expected to premiere on the Copilot web interface first. However, with no definite timeline set for Live Portraits' release, you can expect a bit of a wait – time will tell if the feature makes its grand debut or remains an inside secret.
