Microsoft Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat is getting a new feature called ‘Notebook’ that bumps the character limit to 16,000, which is four times more than ChatGPT and Copilot.

According to a recent report by WindowsLatest, Copilot ‘Notebook’ will be available to everyone including consumers. The new feature is really handy if you want to feed the GPT-4 powered chatbot with more information and tune prompts.

However, it looks like Notebook won’t be replacing the main Copilot interface and will exist as a separate functionality for those who want to ask questions or tune lengthy research documents or other content.

One more thing: we are also starting to flight the Notebook interface. Keep changing the prompt on the left, get results on the right. Easier to copy and work on the prompt. It also remembers the previous version, so you can ask to change something. pic.twitter.com/WkfIE4bQmN

Copilot Notebook also remembers previous prompts and saves the result in the conversation, meaning if you ask the AI chatbot to write or summarise a document and ask questions about it, it will remember the original document as well.

Notebook also boasts a new layout that stores prompts on the left panel with the results appearing on the right side of the screen, enabling users to easily modify their prompts to get desired results. It looks like Microsoft is still rolling out the Copilot Notebook, so it might take anywhere from a few days to weeks before it is available on your account.

Earlier this month, Microsoft started rolling out the first version of Code Interpreter in Copilot and confirmed that the full version will be coming soon.
