Microsoft just announced several updates to its Copilot AI assistant, and some sound downright useful. It's bringing Copilot Vision to mobile, but with some new features. For the uninitiated, this software originally launched for the Edge web browser and gave Copilot the ability to "see" and comment on the contents of websites.
The company is upping its game for the mobile version, adding some multimodal functionality. It'll be able to integrate with your phone's camera to "enable an interactive experience with the real world." Microsoft says it can analyze both real-time video from the camera and photos stored on the device

We've used the term "assistant" rather loosely over the past few years. In part, that's due to the aspirational marketing of companies like Google and its "Google Assistant," which has provided answers to spoken questions and not much more. And we will tolerate those machines anticipating some of our preferences: autofilling commands, suggesting movies, and even automatically ordering refills as we run out of ink or milk. Knowing that we typically order orange chicken over chow mein? OK, fine.
Copilot wants to know all about you
Microsoft's, um, thinking different. It wants to proactively offer you reminders and suggestions. How? By assigning a Copilot a "memory": your nephew's birthday and what gifts he might like, the foods you enjoy, and what movies you like. It all sounds very much like an advertising profile, and that's probably what it is.
And if Microsoft's Copilot starts to recognize you as a person, Microsoft hopes you might begin to think of Copilot as a unique individual, too.

By now, your brackets were likely busted a long time ago. The 2025 NCAA Tournaments, affectionately known to many as March Madness, are coming to a close. Both the men's and women's Final Four — the semifinal games — are happening this weekend, with the championship to follow in subsequent days. Different broadcasters own the rights to each tournament, so streaming both installments of the Final Four can be confusing. I've broken down the best, most affordable way to access each one so that you'll be ready when the games begin on Friday.
When is the Final Four?
The women's NCAA basketball Final Four is Friday, April 4. 1-seed Texas takes on fellow 1-seed South Carolina at 7:00PM ET, then 2-seed UConn will battle 1-seed UCLA in the other semifinal match up at 9:30PM ET. The winners to play for the national championship on Sunday, April 6 at 3:00PM ET. All three of these games will be on ESPN and ESPN .
The men's NCAA basketball Final Four is Saturday, April 5. The 1-seed Auburn takes on familiar SEC foe and fellow 1-seed Florida at 6:09PM ET. Following that game at 8:49PM ET, 1-seed Houston will face 1-seed Duke. The winners will play for the national championship on Monday, April 7 at 8:50PM ET. All three of these games will be on CBS.
How to watch the Final Four and championship games
All of the women's games will be available on ESPN and ESPN , which means you can watch via a live TV streaming service or in the ESPN app (with a TV log-in or ESPN subscription). The most affordable way to watch these games is with a $12/month ESPN plan. All men's games will air on CBS, where you have the option of streaming on a liv

GitHub, the online developer platform that allows users to create, store, manage, and share their code, has been on a generative AI (genA) journey since before ChatGPT or Copilot was widely available to the public.
Through an early partnership with Microsoft, the dev platform adopted Copilot two-and-a-half years ago, tweaking it to create its own version — GitHub Copilot.
The genAI-baed conversational chat interface is now used as a tool for both GitHub users and internal employees to assist in code development, as well as an automated help desk tool.
