What is Microsoft AI Copilot? Microsoft is an artificial intelligence personal assistant for Windows 11.
Microsoft is adding an (AI) Copilot artificial intelligence assistant to Windows 11. Similar to Edge, Office apps, and even Copilot sidebars we've seen on GitHub, Windows Copilot will be integrated directly into Windows 11 and can be opened and used in any application and program from the taskbar.
“Once the Windows Copilot sidebar is open, it stays consistently across your apps, programs and windows and is always ready to act as your personal assistant,” explains Panos Panay, Microsoft's head of Windows and devices. “It helps you take action, customize your settings, and seamlessly connect your favorite apps, making every user a powerhouse.”
Windows Copilot can summarize, rewrite, and even annotate the content you view in applications. It's very similar to the dialog box found in Bing Chat, so you can ask it general questions and things you can usually ask a search engine.
It will not directly replace the search bar on the Windows 11 taskbar, and will instead have a separate Copilot button next to it, similar to how Cortana has her own private area on the taskbar in Windows 10. According to Microsoft, Windows Copilot is a "personal assistant", which is very similar to Microsoft's description of Cortana as a "personal productivity assistant".
Since Copilot is integrated into Windows, you can also do things like ask this assistant to “adjust my settings so I can focus” or do other things on the computer. Much more than the basic Bing Chat link that Microsoft added to the taskbar earlier this year.
Because Windows Copilot is built on the same foundations as Bing Chat, Microsoft even allows developers to extend plugins written for Bing or OpenAI's ChatGPT to this AI-powered assistant. This opens Windows Copilot to many of the new functionality developers have built for ChatGPT and Bing, and future improvements to automatically migrate to Windows Copilot.
For the past six months, Microsoft has been giving tips on adding AI features to Windows, after Panay said in January that “AI will reinvent how you do everything on Windows.” Many were waiting for Microsoft to wait until the next major version of Windows, but instead the company is clearly pushing forward its Windows AI goals.
Microsoft will now begin public testing of Windows Copilot in June before rolling it out more broadly to existing Windows 11 users.
