The recent update to the Copilot interface (early Oct 2024) has significantly impacted usability for business and content creation.
The new layout complicates searching through history, requiring longer loading times, especially when navigating previous questions. Additionally, the interface appears to lack options for configuring the precision of AI responses, and the algorithm seems less capable of self-refining compared to its previous performance.

Hey all! You can access the old interface by visiting the following website in either Edge or Chrome. https://www.bing.com/chat?q=Microsoft+Copilot&FORM=hpcodx

No you can't.

This is not ok, ya'll. Whatever you've done is ridiculously difficult to use, the images don't offer any additional prompts underneath to enhance what you've asked it to make. Put it back the way it was!
I found the old interface. What do you have to do, is to go into Microsoft being browser. Once you’re there, click on the upper right hand corner on the Copilot icon and then you will get the old interface. The layout is 90% the same, and it has all of your old leftover chats from the last time you used the old Microsoft copilot.

I agree with this observation. Before the recent change, I used Copilot continuously throughout the day. Being able to revisit past conversations as a reference or to continue them as more details surfaced was invaluable. Now, it is nothing more than just another chatbot. My sole use of Copilot at this point is a cute front-end to run Power Automate flows. For serious work, I have switched to Google Gemini.
Burton, I agree that that seems to be as close as we're gonna get with it, BUT...why are the downloads so much smaller? I am paying for Copilot pro and I need the images to be at least 3MB. Now Im getting KB sizes, which really alters the resolution of the images. Am I missing something? Thank you.
I’m not sure, but hopefully Microsoft will revert back

Burton Kelso's comment is the way! Open Bing, lick the Copilot icon. You can check recent activity (chat logs) etc!

Thank you Burton,
I just tried the link and typical MS, they have stopped that option/support

Just make it clear, you have to click on the Co-Pilot icon in the Edge browser and it will bring up the old interface. If you want to use it on your smartphone, use the Bing app rather than the co-pilot app.
I used the former copilot every day and it was fine. Now i am trying Google Gemini. Why does MS continue to screw with the users??

I prefer the earlier version of Microsoft Copilot. The recent version feels more casual, and the content quality seems to have declined. The user interface has become less user-friendly as well. The earlier version was better suited for academic and business content, while this version appears more geared towards social media chats, appealing to Gen Z users. I hope Microsoft considers revisiting or offering options for users who prefer the earlier, more professional style.
I also have this question. Why do they keep making weird changes to copilot. Earlier it had 3 modes, then they gave separate AI for image, fitness, cooking, etc, then they merged everything, and now this weird blue thing. What is MS even doing bro?
this one is literally useless. The AI doesn't even let you voice type, no history saved, and no source links of info so that we can cross-check the information. Most disgusting updates of all time.
