AI NEWS: Microsoft adds Memories to Copilot
[00:00:00.00]
Hello, my name is Laurel Papworth, and this is AI news. So a quick copilot update. In October 2025,
Microsoft added custom instructions to copilot, so you could tell it how to respond and not just what
to do. Now, in December 2025, Copilot has added memory. This means it can reference previous
prompts and outputs to give more consistent answers over time. This matters because pretrained AI
models, GPTs, don’t remember anything, so they need a memory function. You can turn memory off if
you want fresh eyes. It’s under the personalization menu in settings. But for ongoing work, this will
make copilot far more useful. It now is more like a long-term colleague than an intern that started this
morning.

session, whatever. See you then. Thanks.
