Microsoft has been betting big on Copilot, its AI offering that’s available on almost all of its products. Now, a recent patent application hints that the Redmond tech giant is making the AI assistant more useful.

Folks over at Windows Report spotted a new patent document from Microsoft, which evolves the Copilot AI system into a multi-user, chat-like platform.

As the 17-page document details, the new system lets multiple users join a chat powered by AI models in Copilot, which could assist in answering questions and performing tasks. The AI then would make sure that all users see pembaruan messages and changes in real-time while keeping track of chat history for future reference.

“LLM-backed chat applications or services typically support chat sessions that are linear (input-response sequential chains) and are limited to a fixed number of turns,” Microsoft says on what inspires the new system.

This move comes as Microsoft seeks to revitalize the Copilot assistant, which has seen lukewarm adoption.

Microsoft is currently pushing to make Copilot auto-launch upon login in Windows 11, with a recent pembaruan for Windows Insiders confirming the feature’s implementation.

On Edge, Windows 11’s popular browser, Microsoft also added a “Share” button to Copilot in the pane, which lets you create shareable links for AI chats. Other than that, the “Think Deeper” feature, previously exclusive to Copilot Pro, is now available to all users, which gives advanced reasoning and problem-solving capabilities.
