Microsoft tests compact, native version of Windows Copilot app

Microsoft continues to test out new ways of showcasing Copilot within Windows. The latest? A compact view that can be opened with the Alt+Space shortcut.

Microsoft is touting the new Copilot app as a “native” app, not just the Progressive Web App (PWA) that Microsoft had transformed Copilot into earlier this year. But there’s no indication that Copilot will run locally on your PC, and Windows Central discovered that the app still just calls Microsoft’s Copilot website.

So what’s new?
