Hold Alt + Spacebar for two seconds, and Clippy 2.0 is all ears Microsoft has added yet another Copilot tweak for Windows Insiders. Hold down Alt + Spacebar for two seconds, and the AI assistant will pop up for a voice chat.

Copilot uses OpenAI models like GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 (yes, it generates images, too) alongside others like Microsoft's in-house Prometheus. Microsoft has invested significant amounts of money into OpenAI in recent years as the basis for Copilot and basically everything in its AI strategy.

Newer Windows PCs have included a special Copilot key for about a year now. The Copilot key is meant to be a dedicated way to bring up Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant, although some people never use it and have turned to repurposing the Copilot key for other actions.

A new feature for Copilot on Windows will let you speak to the AI tool after using a keyboard shortcut. Press to talk is in testing among Windows Insiders.
