You can now try Microsoft’s Recall AI feature on a Copilot Plus PC

Nov 22, 2024 - theverge.com
Microsoft is launching the first preview of its Recall AI feature for Copilot Plus PCs. The feature, which is similar to Google's Circle to Search, takes screenshots of user activity to make it searchable and easy to recall past actions. Users can enable snapshots to be recorded by Recall, and then use the Recall app to search for previous work using natural language queries. The feature also includes a scrollable timeline to find past apps or websites used, and uses AI to match text and visual elements from the snapshots. The feature is optional and users must opt in to use it.

The preview is initially only available on Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs, with support for Intel- and AMD-powered PCs coming soon. Users can control what snapshots are saved and can delete them easily. Microsoft also allows users to exclude certain apps and websites from Recall, and the feature should automatically detect sensitive information and not save those snapshots. Microsoft assures that it won't have access to any Recall snapshots, and they won't be sent to the cloud or used to train Microsoft’s AI models.

Key takeaways:

  • Microsoft is releasing a preview of its Recall AI feature for Copilot Plus PCs, which takes screenshots of user activity to make it searchable and easy to recall previous work.
  • The Recall feature is optional and users have to opt in and enable it. It also has security measures in place to automatically detect and not save sensitive information like credit card details and passwords.
  • The preview is initially available only on Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs, with support for Intel- and AMD-powered Copilot Plus PCs coming soon.
  • Click to Do, a feature that recognizes text and images in Recall snapshots for AI-powered actions, is also part of the new test build of Windows 11.
