Microsoft 365 Copilot updated: Speed doubled and design changed

Microsoft has announced a major update for its Microsoft 365 Copilot AI assistant. This update includes both visual changes and a significant boost in performance. Developers state that the new version loads twice as fast as the previous one, while the response time for complex queries has been reduced by 10 percent. This is reported by Ixbt.com .
One of the key changes is the transition to a "progressive disclosure" concept. Now, the Copilot interface adapts to the context of the user's request and dynamically provides only the necessary tools. This helps avoid information overload: the system does not show all options at once, but displays them as needed.
Visually, the assistant has a cleaner and more minimalist design. The query input box has been significantly enlarged and now supports internal text formatting. Additionally, a side panel for extra elements has been added to the app, making navigation and feature usage easier.
Within office apps like Word or Excel, Copilot can be called directly from a paragraph or table cell. The new Work IQ intelligent layer is responsible for this approach, suggesting context-dependent actions. Furthermore, users now have the ability to choose between different AI models to perform specific tasks.
