Microsoft Unveils Advanced Multi-File Analysis in Copilot
In a recent enhancement, Microsoft has introduced ChatGPT’s advanced multi-file analysis capabilities to its Copilot tool on both the web and Windows 11 platforms, and notably, without requiring a paid subscription. This upgrade allows users to upload and analyze multiple documents simultaneously, enhancing productivity and workflow efficiency.
Previously, while Copilot allowed users to upload up to 20 files in a single interaction, it processed each document individually without the capacity to synthesize information across them. With the new functionality powered by GPT’s multi-file support, Copilot can now analyze up to three files concurrently, enabling a more cohesive understanding of related content.
Enhanced Document Analysis for Career Transition
For example, if you’re considering a career change and possess two job listings alongside your resume, Copilot can now analyze all three documents together, identifying relevant connections and insights.
“Copilot can read up to three files together, allowing for deeper context and more nuanced interpretations, ” reported Microsoft, noting that this feature has been among the top requests from users.
Alongside this, Copilot retains most features available in ChatGPT, including the capabilities of GPT-5 with Thinking. This is particularly notable as this comprehensive ability to connect multiple files was previously absent in Copilot while being integral to the ChatGPT experience.
Utilizing Copilot for Travel Planning and Budgeting
Similar to the example of job applications, users can significantly benefit from Copilot’s multi-file functionality in planning travel. By uploading documents like travel budgets, itineraries, and packing lists, the tool can help identify any missing elements or suggest ways to optimize your travel plans for cost savings.
Testing Copilot’s Study and Learn Features
I recently explored Copilot’s multi-file capabilities in conjunction with its Study and Learn mode, and the results were outstanding. To utilize this feature, select the “+” menu and activate the Study and Learn option.
With Study and Learn mode activated, I uploaded three academic documents, prompting Copilot to generate a tailored practice quiz. It seamlessly processed the information, creating engaging flashcards and quizzes based on the content of the files uploaded.
The interface allows users to interactively respond to quiz questions, after which Copilot provides a score and detailed explanations. This innovative tool can also assist in structuring reading orders for book recommendations. For instance, snapping a photo of books on a shelf can enable Copilot to extract titles, categorize them by theme, and suggest an optimal reading sequence, including summaries or discussion prompts for book clubs.
New Audio Expression Feature Enhancements
The multi-file analysis feature is not the only new capability for Copilot this week. Recently, Windows Latest uncovered a novel audio expression feature that utilizes Microsoft’s proprietary model, resulting in a more natural and personalized audio output. Notably, this feature has excelled in storytelling tests, making it an enjoyable tool to explore—and all available for free.
