Microsoft hints at the future of AI in Windows with a smarter Copilot

Feb 09, 2024 - theverge.com
Microsoft is planning to integrate more AI features into Windows 11, with a focus on its Copilot feature. The company is testing a new experience for Copilot, which includes an animated icon in the taskbar that appears when users copy text or images. The icon will animate to indicate that Copilot can assist with tasks such as summarizing or explaining copied text. The feature is also expected to allow users to drag and drop images into the Copilot icon for analysis and possible future editing.

In addition to the Copilot changes, Microsoft's Notepad app will also get AI integration. Users will be able to select text and use the "explain with Copilot" feature to decipher text, code segments, or log files. Microsoft is positioning Copilot as its main AI brand and is preparing for a significant feature update to Windows. The company is aiming for 2024 to be "the year of the AI PC" and is already adding a dedicated Copilot key to keyboards.
