From a visual perspective, Microsoft wanted to use things like color and iconography to create and reinforce an understanding of the AI moments across Microsoft products. Using product brand colors and vibrant accents makes the product come alive when specifically interacting with AI features, clearly indicating that the model is active during moments of latency and differentiating it from the surrounding UI. The visual identity also clearly shows when Copilot is in use and/or has produced content, our aim being to build trust by allowing you to lean into your judgment insofar as critiquing the output
