Microsoft Copilot is accelerating towards a new stage of intelligent assistant. Latest news indicates that the platform is about to launch a comprehensive memory management feature, with an experience becoming increasingly similar to ChatGPT. In addition, Copilot will also support connection with Google Drive, providing users with more personalized services.
Currently, the Copilot interface has quietly added a "Manage Memory" switch, allowing users to let Copilot "remember" certain key information through simple commands. However, it's worth noting that users cannot currently directly view all content saved by Copilot, but can easily delete all saved memory information through privacy settings.
In future versions, Microsoft plans to launch a complete memory management page, allowing users to manually add, edit, or delete their own "memories," making Copilot's personalized service more accurate. Regarding the connector functionality, Copilot already supports interaction with third-party applications, and some users can already use the OneDrive integration feature. It is expected that soon, Google Drive will also join this list, allowing Copilot to access and read files stored in the user's Drive.
For example, users can ask Copilot to search for files in a specified Google Drive folder and ask questions about the file content or generate summaries. At the same time, Copilot's "Deep Research" feature will also be further utilized, allowing each user to experience up to five deep research sessions for free.
It should be emphasized that although OneDrive and Google Drive are the first partners, Microsoft plans to introduce more services in the coming weeks. However, some connector features may be included in the $20 monthly Copilot paid subscription plan. These features will be gradually rolled out to web, Windows 11, and mobile users in the future.
The series of updates to Microsoft Copilot will undoubtedly enhance its competitiveness in the intelligent assistant field and provide users with a more convenient and personalized experience.
