Microsoft’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for Xbox gamers, Copilot for Gaming, is purportedly undergoing internal testing. The AI software is presently accessible to the company’s employees, according to the article. In March, the tech giant with headquarters in Redmond announced the Xbox Copilot and demonstrated a few of its features. It is anticipated that the business would make the AI chatbot available to Windows Insiders for public testing after the first testing round is finished. Notably, the AI-powered assistant can respond to user questions about games and provide in-game help and tips.
Copilot for Gaming Enters Testing Phase
According to The Verge, Microsoft staff members can now test out the Copilot for Gaming AI assistant’s capabilities. The publication asserted that the corporation is testing an early version of the feature within the Xbox mobile app, citing anonymous sources with knowledge of the situation. According to reports, the assistant can access the user’s Xbox account and utilize the information to respond to questions.
According to reports, the tech giant’s internal staff has access to an early version of Copilot that has a number of functions. According to reports, users can ask questions regarding their Xbox achievements, get help clearing levels and finishing games, and get game recommendations. According to reports, the AI assistant can use natural language cues to download and install games on the Xbox system.
This version of Copilot for Gaming is said to support both text and voice as input. The chatbot can also respond via speech, and there are multiple options of voices to choose from, the report claimed. Some of the voice options reportedly include energetic, wise, chill, and heroic. Microsoft is said to be working on adding Copilot characters, an animated version of the chatbot, but it is not available in the version being tested by the company’s employees.
Microsoft is also said to be working to add Copilot Vision to the AI assistant. With this capability, the chatbot can process visual information on the screen as the user plays games, and offer in-game assistance in real-time. Eventually, the tech giant plans to make Copilot for Gaming available across different interfaces, including the Xbox console.
