    Copilot Vision is now built into moto ai

    Copilot Vision is now just a tap away—fully integrated into moto ai1 on select devices2, including the latest motorola razr and edge devices. With this launch, users in the U.S and other regions worldwide3 can access Copilot Vision directly from their device. Just open moto ai and tap “Ask Copilot Vision” to begin.

    Copilot Vision turns your camera into an intelligent companion—powered by conversational AI that interprets what you see and responds instantly. Whether you’re enhancing your home decor, diving into new hobbies, or streamlining your travel experience, Copilot Vision delivers real-time, helpful insights.

    For example, plant-loving Motorola users can use their device’s front or back camera to analyze their plant’s health real-time. And razr users can do this directly from the external display or in tent mode, getting their questions answered without needing to flip open the device. It’s seamless, helpful, and always ready—right where you need it.

    With support for over 50 languages—just like Copilot Voice—Copilot Vision is designed to be intuitive, inclusive, and accessible for users around the world. When it comes to privacy, users can feel comfortable knowing that they’re in full control—Copilot Vision only accesses the device’s camera or microphone when explicitly activated.

    Disclaimers

    • Motorola Account login is required to access moto ai features. An internet or cellular connection is needed for functionality.
    • moto ai is available on select motorola razr and motorola edge devices.
    • Copilot Vision is available in select markets, with more coming soon.

    Microsoft Copilot by Microsoft

    Release Notes: May 15, 2025

    Microsoft Copilot rolls out upgraded 4o image generation with richer detail and custom starting images, plus a new Quiz Cards feature for interactive quizzes. It also expands to Android as the default assistant and adds Vision updates for Windows Insiders with step-by-step guidance and multi‑app analysis.

    Welcome to Microsoft’s Copilot Release Notes. Here we’ll provide regular updates on what’s happening with Copilot, from new features to firmware updates and more.

    Upgraded 4o image generation

    We’ve upgraded Copilot’s image generation with 4o image generation, allowing you to create images with even richer detail and composition.

    With this update, Copilot also does a much better job of refining images based on a previous image — and now you can even upload your own image to use as a starting point, giving you more creative control and flexibility.

    You can try the upgraded experience today in the Copilot mobile app on iOS and Android, on Copilot.com, within Copilot in Edge, and on GroupMe.

    This experience will be available in the Windows app, Mac app, and other platforms in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

    Quiz Cards are now live

    We’re excited to announce that you can now ask Copilot to generate a quiz! Quiz Cards offer an interactive way to challenge your knowledge or to study for that test you’ve got tomorrow.

    Creating a quiz is easy: Just ask Copilot to create a quiz on the topic—from math, science, or history to pop culture and beyond. An example question could be something like, “Copilot, can you quiz me on limits and derivatives in calculus?”

    Quizzes are currently only available on copilot.com and the Copilot Mobile app.

    Set Copilot as the default digital assistant on your Android mobile device

    Copilot is now here to support you on your Android device, no matter where you are in the world. Whether you need help sending messages, setting timers, alarms, or even requesting a rideshare, Copilot is ready to assist from the convenience of your Android mobile device.

    New Vision updates for Windows Insiders

    A new update to Copilot Vision has been released and allows Copilot Vision to assist with interactive “show me how” visual guidance, highlighting exactly where to click within a shared app to help you complete tasks step-by-step. It also adds support for sharing two apps simultaneously, enabling Copilot to analyze and provide insights across both.

    These features are currently available to Windows Insiders in the U.S. and are rolling out gradually. To learn more, check out the full blog post.
