At Build 2025, Microsoft detailed upcoming Copilot enhancements as part of the Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 2 updates. Many features are already available, with others rolling out in coming weeks.

↑ Redesigned Microsoft 365 Copilot App

The Microsoft 365 Copilot app features a revamped interface optimized for AI agent interaction. Core tools - Search, Chat, Agents, Notebooks, and Create - are now conveniently grouped in the left pane.

Significant chat improvements include new options for quick content addition from various sources, including local files and previous colleague interactions.

↑ GPT-4o Powered Image Generation

Microsoft integrated OpenAI's GPT-4o model into Copilot for enhanced image generation. This enables more detailed visualizations and better image refinement capabilities.

However, the technology still has limitations. Some refinements may apply a yellow tint that intensifies with subsequent generations, and original image elements may unintentionally change.

↑ Copilot Notebooks

A new Notebooks feature organizes information from various sources, including past Copilot conversations. Users can maintain context-specific dialogues within individual notebooks.

Copilot can also generate audio summaries of notebook content.

↑ Search and Memory

June 2025 will bring two anticipated features: Copilot Search and Memory.

Copilot Search integrates with Microsoft Graph to find specific content, using natural language processing to understand context rather than just keywords.

When enabled, Copilot Memory allows AI to recall details from previous conversations within a user profile, delivering more relevant and personalized responses.

↑ Specialized Agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft introduced its first specialized AI agents, described as "pioneering reasoning agents for workplace tasks," including Analyst and Researcher roles.

These agents automate complex tasks and entire workflows using provided data.

The Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Store will offer both Microsoft-developed and third-party agents, alongside tools for creating custom agents for specialized tasks.
