🤖 Copilot’s Personalization Overhaul Begins
Insights from Microsoft
Microsoft just gave its AI assistant, Copilot, a major upgrade — transforming it from a generic chatbot into a highly personal digital companion. With memory, real-world vision, and web action abilities, it now aims to understand your world like a human assistant.
The Decode:
1. Your AI, with Memory - Copilot can now remember previous conversations and build a personal profile — tracking your likes, routines, projects, and even pet names. This memory-based evolution means it can offer responses tailored not just to what you ask, but who you are.
2. Smarter Action Automation - The new “Actions” feature enables Copilot to take initiative on your behalf — booking tickets, placing orders, or completing tasks online.
3. Copilot Vision + Cross-App Awareness - Copilot Vision on mobile lets the AI see through your camera in real time, interpreting visuals for more contextual help. On Windows, it can now read and interact with what’s on your screen across different apps, enhancing multitasking and accessibility.
4. Tools for Deeper Productivity - From Deep Research for complex topics to Pages for organizing content, and even a podcast creator, Copilot expands into a full productivity suite. These features target both casual users and power users who want AI support across tasks.
Microsoft is evolving Copilot from a reactive tool to a proactive personal AI — blending memory, autonomy, and multimodal input. Whether it gains mainstream adoption depends on how well it competes with existing assistants in people’s personal digital ecosystems.
đź‘“ Copilot Vision: Real-Time AI That Sees Your Screen
Microsoft’s Copilot Vision is quietly one of the most powerful free AI tools out right now. It can see what’s on your screen and help you in real time — whether you’re reading, navigating, or trying to understand complex information.
đź§ What It Can Do
Explain anything you’re viewing — from charts and code to documents and images.
Guide you step-by-step through tasks, forms, or interfaces.
Answer questions in real time based on what’s visually on-screen.
🛠️ How to Use It
Open Microsoft Edge
Click Copilot in the top-right corner
Hit the Mic icon to start visual assistance
That’s it — you’re now working with an AI that sees and responds based on your screen content.
⚡ Why It’s a Game-Changer
Copilot Vision turns your browser into a co-pilot for everything: tech support, research, design, and learning. And it’s totally free.
If you’ve ever wanted AI that truly understands what you’re looking at — this is it. Try it and see how smart your screen can become.
🤖 AI 2027 Forecast Warns of a Rapid, Risky Intelligence Leap
Insights from AI 27
The “AI 2027” report by former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo charts a path from advanced assistants in 2025 to superhuman AI by 2027, potentially transforming the global economy by 2029. It raises urgent flags about unchecked progress, governance failures, and the shrinking window for safety.
The Decode:
1. A Timeline to AGI, Fast-Tracked - The report traces the rise from task-based AI agents in 2025 to full AGI by 2027. Agent-class systems rapidly improve—from helping with code to fully automating research—culminating in Agent-4, an AI researcher more capable than any human, operating at massively accelerated speeds.
2. Two Paths: Acceleration or Alignment - Kokotajlo presents two scenarios: one where governments race ahead despite safety risks, and another where global players pause to implement safeguards. In the dominant scenario, competitive pressure overrides caution, making alignment a secondary priority.
3. A Global Arms Race with Military Stakes - As AI becomes central to cyberwarfare and national defense, nations pour resources into surpassing rivals. The report highlights growing risks from espionage, misaligned AI behavior, and military integration without understanding AI’s internal reasoning or long-term intentions.
4. Whistleblowers and the Human Cost - Kokotajlo, who left OpenAI in 2024, led the 'Right to Warn' initiative to expose poor safety standards and limited whistleblower protections. His report reflects insider knowledge, stressing that most people—governments included—remain unaware of how fast things are changing.
This isn’t speculation—it’s a structured warning from someone who’s been inside top AI labs. As AI speeds toward superintelligence, the cost of inaction or misaligned priorities could reshape economies, power dynamics, and even human agency. Time to course-correct is rapidly closing.

đź§µ Microsoft is testing its Muse AI with a browser-based Quake II level, offering a basic, time-limited glimpse into AI-generated gameplay. The project hints at future uses like game prototyping and preservation, with Copilot Vision set to offer real-time coaching.
📌 Meta’s Maverick AI ranks second on LM Arena — but researchers found that the benchmarked version was an “experimental” chat-optimized variant, not the one publicly released. This creates confusion for developers and raises concerns about transparency in AI benchmarks.
🏆 A new academic study indicates OpenAI’s GPT-4 may have memorized segments of copyrighted content, including fiction and news articles. Researchers used a novel probing method and found signs of “verbatim recall,” reigniting debates about transparency and fair use in AI training.
👾 GitHub Copilot users will now face monthly caps when using advanced AI models like Anthropic’s 3.7 Sonnet, while the base GPT-4o remains unlimited. A new $39/month Pro+ tier offers 1,500 premium requests and access to top-tier models.
