Microsoft Copilot’s Voice and Think Deeper Features Are Now Free for Everyone—Here’s How to Use Them

Microsoft has rolled out free, unlimited access to two of its standout Copilot features: Think Deeper and Copilot Voice. Designed to handle everything from casual day-to-day queries to more complex tasks, these tools aim to make AI-powered assistance accessible to everyone.

Here's how to use them.

What Is Think Deeper?

Think Deeper is a reasoning tool built on OpenAI's o1 model. It's tailored for complex queries where you need more than a quick answer-situations where thoughtful, detailed responses are more useful.

For example, if you're planning a home renovation, Think Deeper can help you evaluate which project offers the best return on investment. Similarly, it can compare big-ticket purchases, like electric vehicles, by weighing their long-term value and maintenance costs.

The feature's underlying model is designed to "think before it speaks," meaning it takes a little longer to generate a response-around 30 seconds-but provides a more comprehensive answer.

What Can Copilot Voice Do?

Copilot Voice takes a different approach by focusing on hands-free, conversational interactions. It lets you ask questions, give prompts, and receive responses without needing to type.

This is useful for scenarios where you need a step-by-step guide but can't easily interact with a screen-such as cooking a meal or learning a new language on the go.

Copilot Voice can also simulate dialogues, making it a helpful tool for mock interviews or practicing conversation skills in a new language.

How to Use Think Deeper and Voice Features

Accessing these features is simple. If you're logged into Copilot, you'll find the Think Deeper button next to the input box. Clicking it enables the advanced reasoning model, which then provides more detailed and thoughtful responses to complex prompts.

For Voice, you can simply speak your requests. Whether you're using the Copilot app, visiting the standalone website, or working from a Windows device, you'll have a consistent, hands-free experience.

Both tools are available without any additional setup or extra cost.
