Hey, Copilot!

Microsoft's 'Hey, Copilot!' lets Windows Insiders invoke Copilot Voice hands-free. This opt-in feature uses on-device wake word detection. Rolling out now for English language users in Insider channels.

**Hey, Copilot!** is a hands-free feature for Windows Insiders that allows users to activate Microsoft Copilot Voice simply by saying "Hey, Copilot!" This opt-in feature uses on-device wake word detection, ensuring privacy by processing the wake phrase locally without storing audio. Once enabled, users can ask questions or start conversations effortlessly while their PC is unlocked.

The feature includes visual and auditory cues, like a floating UI and chime, to confirm activation and conversation status. It currently supports only English and requires an internet connection for Copilot's responses. Rolling out gradually, this update aims to enhance productivity by enabling seamless voice interactions with Copilot. Feedback is encouraged to refine the experience.
