Microsoft integrates AI shopping into Copilot app, bringing price tracking and smart comparisons
Microsoft has launched Copilot Shopping, an AI-enhanced shopping experience built into its Copilot app for web and mobile users, offering a streamlined end-to-end purchasing journey powered by artificial intelligence. The new feature is also expected to arrive on AI-powered desktop PCs in the near future. Announced during Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebrations, Copilot Shopping aims to transform the way users discover, compare, and buy products online. The system allows users to explore items based on natural language queries, track prices, view consumer reviews, and even complete purchases without ever leaving the app. According to a recent post by Microsoft Copilot's official account on X, the feature builds on the company's efforts to bring generative AI to everyday tasks. It comes shortly after similar initiatives by Google and OpenAI, which introduced AI shopping capabilities via Search and ChatGPT, respectively. Copilot Shopping works as a comprehensive virtual assistant that starts from product discovery and carries the user all the way to checkout. Users can ask specific or open-ended questions—such as 'What's the best smartwatch for fitness tracking?' or 'I'm starting to learn photography. What gear do I need?'—and the AI will respond with curated, interactive visual cards showing relevant products. These product listings include summaries, technical specifications, pros and cons, and user-generated reviews. Once a product is selected, Copilot compares prices across multiple retailers, showing users the most competitive rates. From there, shoppers can proceed to checkout natively within the app, avoiding the need to switch between different e-commerce platforms. One of the more innovative aspects of Copilot Shopping is its price tracking capability. The tool displays the historical price range of a product and allows users to set a preferred purchase price using a slider interface. If and when the product's price matches the desired level, the app sends a notification, prompting the user to finalise the purchase directly. Microsoft began testing the shopping feature last month, as reported by TestingCatalog. With its rollout now underway, the tech giant is positioning Copilot Shopping as an AI-first retail companion, offering both convenience and insight in an increasingly crowded e-commerce landscape.

OpenAI to appeal New York Times suit demand asking to not delete any user chats
HighlightsOpenAI is appealing a court order requiring it to preserve ChatGPT output data indefinitely, citing conflicts with user privacy commitments. OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman stated that the demand from The New York Times sets a bad precedent and compromises user privacy. The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft for allegedly using its articles without permission to train the language model behind ChatGPT. OpenAI is appealing an order in a copyright case brought by the New York Times that requires it to preserve ChatGPT output data indefinitely, arguing that the order conflicts with privacy commitments it has made with users. Last month, a court said OpenAI had to preserve and segregate all output log data after the Times asked for the data to be preserved. "We will fight any demand that compromises our users' privacy; this is a core principle," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a post on X on Thursday. "We think this (The Times demand) was an inappropriate request that sets a bad precedent." U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein was asked to vacate the May data preservation order on June 3, a court filing showed. The New York Times did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours. The newspaper sued OpenAI and Microsoft in 2023, accusing them of using millions of its articles without permission to train the large language model behind its popular chatbot. Stein said in an April court opinion that the Times had made a case that OpenAI and Microsoft were responsible for inducing users to infringe its copyrights. The opinion explained an earlier order that rejected parts of an OpenAI and Microsoft motion to dismiss, saying that the Times' "numerous" and "widely publicised" examples of ChatGPT producing material from its articles justified allowing the claims to continue.
