A personal AI assistance for Windows 11 called Windows Copilot is announced by Microsoft

Given the success of ChatGPT, Microsoft is eager to introduce generative AI across all of its services. As of now, Microsoft has come forward with a personal AI assistant for Windows 11 namely Windows Copilot. It is accompanied by various features like music recommendation, tech support for PCs, and document summarization that will provide a better user experience.

As per the videos shared by the company, the new AI Copilot will be accessible via a preview version of Windows. Its icon will appear on the taskbar. Clicking on the icon will present the copilot in the form of a chat interface that is the same as the Bing AI Chatbot. Users can type their queries and perform certain functions. Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s marketing chief for consumer products says that the chatbot will be accessible for testing starting from June.

When it’s open, the Windows Copilot sidebar is consistent throughout all of your open windows, apps, and programs, making it constantly accessible to serve as your personal assistant. Every user becomes a power user as a result, Panos Panay, Microsoft’s president of Windows and devices, said. “It empowers you to take action, personalize your settings, and effortlessly connect across your favorite apps.”

Plug-ins support for Copliot

One of the interesting things about this recent announcement by Microsoft is the support for plug-ins. The Windows Copilot has support for Bing and ChatGPT plug-ins. In this way, developers are provided with a lot of opportunities to improve the overall functionality of the assistant thus making it more beneficial. In addition to this, the company states that any new update for Bing or ChatGPT will also be meant for Windows Copilot.

Well, this is a great achievement for Microsoft in terms of AI technology. CEO Satya Nadella discussed the significance of this accomplishment at the Microsoft Build developer conference, even drawing comparisons to the debut of the internet and the release of the first iPhone.
