A new feature for Copilot on Windows will let you speak to the AI tool after using a keyboard shortcut. Press to talk is in testing among Windows Insiders.

Newer Windows PCs have included a special Copilot key for about a year now. The Copilot key is meant to be a dedicated way to bring up Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant, although some people never use it and have turned to repurposing the Copilot key for other actions.

Microsoft unveiled the new Copilot app in Windows 11, and this week, it's rolling out the first of what will be several new features.

Now rolling out to Windows insiders, the updated Copilot app will let you use a hotkey to automatically launch the AI in conversation mode.

Microsoft Advertising has shown off new ad formats that insert massive ads right into Copilot, alongside pilot programs to allow brands to create their own AI agents to sell you stuff.
