OpenAI’s o1 model is designed to handle complex questions more effectively. Microsoft is integrating it into Copilot through a feature called Think Deeper. With just a tap of the Think Deeper button inside Copilot, the AI will take around 30 seconds to analyse the question from multiple perspectives before delivering a well-structured response.
Microsoft first launched Think Deeper in October as part of Copilot Labs, a space for Copilot Pro users to test new AI features. Now, this powerful reasoning tool is available to everyone at no cost. It works similarly to ChatGPT Plus, providing step-by-step answers to help with things like:
Career planning: It can break down career changes into steps, including education paths, job-hunting strategies, and industry trends.
Project planning: You can outline a big project, and Think Deeper will generate a structured plan, whether it’s a fitness goal, a work deadline, or a road trip.
Learning new topics: From historical events to scientific concepts, Think Deeper can provide detailed explanations to help you dive into any subject.
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman announced the expansion in a LinkedIn post, emphasising that “tens of millions” of users will now benefit from Think Deeper. He also hinted that more announcements will be coming soon. “We’ve got so much more in the pipeline right now that I can’t wait to tell you about,” he said.
