Microsoft is advancing Copilot with a planned rollout of GPT-5.1, which will replace the earlier GPT-5-powered Smart mode. Some [Windows users are already seeing this upgrade](https://x.com/mayank%5Fjee/status/1994194551657963657?ref=testingcatalog.com), while broader web and mobile access is being prepared. This adjustment keeps Copilot aligned with the most recent model improvements, with Smart mode serving as the default for more complex or nuanced queries.

Recent updates in [Copilot's Imagine gallery](https://www.testingcatalog.com/microsoft-tests-copilot-creator-gallery-for-sora-style-ai-image-and-video-feed/) include the ability to create and remix [3D models](https://www.testingcatalog.com/microsoft-develops-copilot-3d-experiment-targeting-3d-creators/) generated from images, a feature that has seen more visibility as Microsoft shares user-generated content within the gallery. This shift suggests Microsoft is encouraging broader experimentation and creative use among Copilot users.

A notable new menu addition, Reminders, positions Copilot to enter a space that few major AI assistants currently serve. The Reminders feature will allow users to view, manage, and create reminders, integrating note-taking with scheduled prompts. This stands out among leading assistants, as reminder and task management have seen limited innovation outside of specific platforms like Meta AI's voice-driven reminders on wearable devices.

The company continues to expand organizational features with ongoing work on Projects, which will help users categorize and manage chat histories more efficiently—a capability that has been available on platforms like ChatGPT and is now moving into Copilot’s offering. These developments indicate a broader shift as Microsoft aims to make [Copilot](https://www.testingcatalog.com/tag/microsoft-copilot/) not only a conversational agent but a more comprehensive productivity tool, particularly in task and workflow management, an area that remains underserved by other major labs.
