Microsoft has released an early preview of Windows Copilot, a revolutionary AI-driven personal assistant, exclusively to Windows 11 Dev Channel Insiders. This exciting announcement was made during the Build conference, where Microsoft introduced Windows Copilot as a centralized AI assistance tool.
In a recent blog post, Microsoft revealed that the early preview of Windows Copilot on the development channel is focused on providing users with a unified UI experience. However, we plan to incorporate additional features in future previews. Accessing Windows Copilot is easy. Users simply click the taskbar button or use the handy WIN+C keyboard shortcut.
When the Windows Copilot panel is activated, it stays docked to the side of the screen, allowing users to access the panel while using other applications. Using the power of Windows 11 Copilot, users can give commands and watch the AI effortlessly change settings and perform various activities within the operating system.
Examples of commands that Windows Copilot can handle include switching to dark mode, enabling good night mode, capturing screenshots, summarizing websites, creating stories, and even creating images. A limited number of Windows Settings plugins are currently supported by Windows Copilot, but third-party plugins are not. Nonetheless, Microsoft plans to add even more features and improve the overall Windows Copilot experience in response to helpful feedback from Windows Insiders.
To take advantage of Copilot, users must have Windows Build 23493 or a later version on the development channel, and Microsoft Edge version 115.0.1901.150 or later.
As the preview progresses, Windows Insiders will have a unique opportunity to provide feedback and contribute to the further development of Windows Copilot. This step-by-step process allows Microsoft to refine the functionality and ensure that it fully meets the needs and expectations of our users.
