Microsoft Introduces Copilot AI Assistant as a Native Mac Application

Microsoft has launched a native macOS app for its Copilot AI assistant, expanding its availability to Mac users in the US, UK, and Canada.

Microsoft’s latest move? Bringing its Copilot AI assistant right into the heart of macOS. Yep, Mac users can now tap into this web-based wizardry without leaving their beloved ecosystem. And it’s not just a quiet rollout—folks in the U.S., U.K., and Canada are getting first dibs.

Think of the macOS app as the web version’s twin, but with a few neat tricks up its sleeve. Like, ever wished you could summon an AI with just a keystroke? Boom—Command + Space makes it happen. And for those who prefer their screens easy on the eyes (hello, midnight coders), dark mode’s got your back.

This isn’t just about sticking an app on a new platform. Microsoft’s been busy unlocking Copilot’s ‘Voice’ and ‘Think Deeper’ features for everyone, free of charge. Powered by OpenAI’s o1 model, it’s clear they’re not just playing around—they’re serious about making AI tools everyone can use.

Launching a macOS app might seem like a small step, but it’s a giant leap in Microsoft’s play to cozy up to the Apple crowd. With Copilot already chilling on iPhones and iPads, it’s obvious Microsoft’s all in on breaking down the walls between ecosystems. Because why should hardware dictate your software choices, right?
