Microsoft has been increasingly focused on integrating advanced AI capabilities into its tools to make the technology more widely accessible. While Copilot was launched two years ago, the platform aimed to give users access to information, help them get answers to their prompts, and pave the way for their creative purposes. The tech giant has since then been working on evolving the tool further and has made a major announcement about bringing even more powerful capabilities to all Copilot users by offering unlimited, free access to Voice and Think Deeper, which OpenAI's o1 model powers.
Microsoft announces unlimited access to Voice and Think Deeper for free with more advanced capabilities
Copilot was launched in 2022, and while the world of AI chatbots saw some intense competition with advanced tools being available, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, it did not stop Microsoft from bringing forward its AI tools. With DeepSeek's growing popularity, companies are aggressively approaching artificial intelligence initiatives and rolling out updates to a wider audience.
OpenAI has been arduously working on introducing more capabilities and has developed several tools to improve users' lives and productivity, such as Operator, Deep Research, and o-3 min. Microsoft is now focused on making Copilot more widely accessible as it has announced free, unlimited access to Voice and Think Deeper with the intention of making it more insightful.
Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, has shared about this development on X, which reinforces the big leap the company is making in making the tool more accessible for everyone. The tech giant is expanding its reach and usability by offering free unlimited access to Voice and Think Deeper in Copilot. As Microsoft is not the only company looking into making artificial intelligence tools more accessible to the masses, we see an overall trend in the industry to democratize AI.
Our long-held belief has been when AI is truly democratized, we’ll be able to better empower people to harness its power.

Microsoft is also offering Copilot more advanced capabilities by integrating OpenAI's o1 model. This includes bringing more extended conversations and more complex problem-solving abilities. Additionally, users would have a collaborative AI partner as the tool would come with the option to make multiple iterations, refine the ideas further, and improve the responses. By bringing Copilot without any limitations, Microsoft is stepping into a new era that emphasizes scaling AI and prioritizing more widespread availability.
