Microsoft’s Copilot Assistant Can Now “Think Deeper” for Free

Microsoft Copilot Think Deeper

Microsoft is improving the consumer version of its Copilot assistant by making its Think Deeper” feature free to use for all users. Think Deeper launched as an experimental paid feature in select markets in October, and it lets the assistant find answers to more complex questions using step-by-step responses.

Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI announced on X yesterday that Think Deeper no longer required a Copilot Pro subscription. “This now gives everyone access to OpenAI’s world class o1 reasoning model in Copilot, everywhere at no cost,” the exec said.

Think Deeper is currently available on the Copilot web app and the Copilot mobile app for consumers. The latter isn’t to be confused with the new Microsoft 365 Copilot app, which is the new name of the Microsoft 365 (previously “Office”) app. This Microsoft 365 Copilot app also supports Copilot Chat, but only for commercial customers at the moment. Yes, this is a bit of a mess.

The consumer version of Microsoft’s Copilot assistant has a different UI, and Microsoft previously said that it wanted to turn its consumer chatbot into an “AI companion for everyone. To enable Think Deeper, you just need to tap the ‘Think Deeper’ button, submit your prompt, and wait for Copilot to generate its answer.

“We’ve got so much more in the pipeline right now that I can’t wait to tell you about,” the Microsoft AI CEO teased yesterday. In the US, the Copilot Labs program also lets Copilot Pro subscribers test the experimental Copilot Vision feature. When enabled Copilot Vision analyzes what users see as they navigate the web with Microsoft Edge, and it can answer questions about the content users are seeing.
