Microsoft starts testing 'Hey, Copilot!' in Windows
Briefly

Microsoft is currently testing a new feature for its Copilot Voice in Windows 11 that allows users to start interactions by saying "Hey Copilot!" This functionality is a shift toward more conversational user interface methods and becomes available for Windows Insiders who opt-in to the updated app. Unlike traditional assistants that have been around for years, this is a significant new addition to Copilot. The feature will require activation and internet access for full capabilities, despite using an offline wake-word recognition system. The rollout is gradual and initially limited to English language users.
