Copilot Now Speaks Fluent Google—Your Lost Files Are Saved | Apply AI for December 9, 2025
This week's edition covers Microsoft Copilot's cross-platform search and memory features, ChatGPT's new voice-and-text integration, Google Gemini 3's coaching capabilities for students and creators, free ChatGPT access for teachers, and Claude's extended conversation threads.
Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant that follows you wherever you go,
🐦⬛
We've reached the point where "follows you everywhere" is the selling point, not the privacy concern
whether you're on your laptop, your phone, or just browsing the web. With the latest update, Copilot gets a dozen new tricks, all designed to make it feel more like your own personal helper, no matter what device or platform you're using.
Here's the big news: Copilot can now reach into OneDrive, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, all at once.
🐦⬛
So Microsoft can now access Google's services on your behalf—the kind of corporate détente that only happens when there's user data to be harvested
So if you're hunting for that one document or email, you don't have to remember where you left it. Just ask Copilot in plain English, and it'll dig through all your accounts for you. Of course, nothing happens without your say-so. You decide what Copilot can see, and you're always in control of your own data.
🐦⬛
The same way you "decide" to accept cookies on every website—technically voluntary, functionally mandatory
There's another clever feature too: Copilot now has a memory. You can tell it things like, 'I'm training for a marathon,' or 'Remind me about my anniversary,' and it'll remember for next time.
🐦⬛
We've gone from "the internet never forgets" being a warning to it being a premium feature we pay for
No more repeating yourself every time you chat. If you ever want to change or erase what Copilot remembers, you can do that too. It's like having a helpful friend who never forgets the important stuff.
🐦⬛
Except your helpful friend is a Microsoft server farm that definitely has backups
If you're juggling a bunch of email accounts and cloud drives, you know the pain of searching for that one lost file or message. Now, you don't have to play detective anymore. Copilot does the searching for you, wherever your stuff is hiding.
And with Copilot's new memory, you can skip the endless re-explaining.
🐦⬛
Training AI on your life story, one personal detail at a time
No more starting from scratch every time you open a chat. It just remembers, so you can get on with what matters.
These features are already live in the US, and if you're in the UK or Canada, they'll be arriving soon.
🐦⬛
Tech features roll out like military campaigns—America first, Commonwealth next, everyone else when we get around to it
Depending on where you are and what device you use, you might see them pop up any day now.
