Microsoft recently unveiled the all-new Copilot app and Copilot+ PCs at its annual Build 2024 event. The new Copilot app features a refreshed user interface and offers a flexible experience with drag-and-drop, window resizing, and multitasking capabilities.
The all-new Copilot app is now available in the Windows 11 24H2 preview build for testers. The app for Windows will roll out in phases; however, all Windows 11 users can currently experience the new Copilot interface through a simple workaround.
The Copilot PWA (Progressive Web App) is now available and can be installed on your PC. I have tested it on my Windows 11 23H2 build, and it should work on Windows 10 as well. It is fully undockable and no longer confined to a corner as before. You can resize it or use it in full-screen mode, just like any other Windows app. In addition to the refreshed design, the app supports dragging and dropping files directly into Copilot when using side-by-side mode.
Update: Microsoft has released a new Copilot app on Microsoft Store for Windows 11 and 10 users. It is a PWA app, so users need to Microsoft Edge browser on their PC to install it. Interested users can download the Copilot app from Microsoft Store here.
