Today is a good day. I'm excited. Like viscerally excited. Not just because I'm a leader at Microsoft - although that's pretty great. But even more so as a person. A person who is trying to fit as much into life as humanly possible. A person who cares deeply about being productive. A person who doesn't want to spend time on activities that can be done better / differently through technology, so I can spend more time with my family, in my work, listening to music, cooking great food, watching amazing content, traveling the world, and so much more. With the release of the refreshed Copilot experience shared by Mustafa Suleyman, we’re stepping into a significant moment for all of these things to be real and I cannot wait for my Copilot companion to know me deeply enough to support me in these spaces. We are also stepping into a meaningful moment for Microsoft Advertising. Generative AI is transforming the way users engage with content and technology, which will in turn drive substantive change in the very nature of digital advertising. More to come on this soon. What resonates deeply with me about this Copilot release is its focus on AI as a true companion—not just a tool for automation, but a way to empower us to be more creative, more strategic, and more human in how we engage with others. It’s not just about what’s behind the technology, but how it can simplify, enhance, and ultimately transform the way we build relationships and deliver value. This is just the beginning, and the opportunity this brings—for us individually, as professionals, and for the many stakeholders we serve —feels incredibly meaningful.

I think it's the perfect way to keep her memory alive in my daily life.
Today we are launching our refreshed Copilot experience! Please do have a look, download and enjoy! (Learn more on the Microsoft blog: https://aka.ms/AAs91bn) As we roll this out, I wanted to get down some of the wider context behind what Microsoft is building. We’re living through a technological paradigm shift. In a few short years, our computers have learned to speak our languages, to see what we see and hear what we hear. Yet technology for its own sake counts for nothing. What matters is how it feels to people and how it impacts societies. It’s about how it changes lives, opens doors, expands minds, and relieves pressure. I think it’s important that in doing all of this, getting stuck right into the technical weeds, that we don’t lose sight, not just of what we are building, but why we are building it. At Microsoft AI, we are creating an AI companion for everyone. I truly believe we can create a calmer, more helpful and supportive era of technology, quite unlike anything we’ve seen before. Great technology experiences are about how you feel, not what’s under the hood. Copilot will be there for you, in your corner, by your side, and always strongly aligned with your interests. Some people worry that AI will diminish what makes us unique as humans. My life’s work has been to ensure it does precisely the opposite. We choose what we create. This is something we must do together. Our task is to ensure it always enriches people’s lives and strengthens our bonds with others, whilst supporting our uniqueness and endlessly complex humanity. This is the beginning of a fundamental shift in what’s possible for all of us. It’s a long journey that will take years. With our latest updates to Copilot, you are seeing only the first careful steps in this direction. Patience and care with our deployments are at the very foundation of our approach. My commitment is to be accountable at every stage, to work with you and listen to you. Respect and deep compassion for our users and for society is the core purpose behind everything we do. It comes first. This is a journey we promise to take together. I couldn't be more excited to embark on it with you!

She would love this! What a way to honor her memory💗
I have a Copilot license. I use it all the time!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love that you named it after Susan. Such sweetness!
I was excited and curious to know the possibilities when I saw the "coming soon" image but this is more than I imagined! Well done - a true AI companion for EVERYONE!
Thanks Kya Sainsbury-Carter for the great and fun nudge that brings to life Copilot's ambition as a more personable everyday companion. From now on, my "own" Susa(i)n goes by Odysseas, my all time fav companion for explorations and discoveries ✨.
