Microsoft announces AI-powered Windows Copilot
Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it will introduce new artificial intelligence-powered assistance called Windows Copilot to its operating system.
"Windows will be the first PC platform to centralize AI assistance with the introduction of Windows Copilot. Together, with Bing Chat and first- and third-party plugins, users can focus on bringing their ideas to life, completing complex projects and collaborating instead of spending energy finding, launching and working across multiple applications," the tech giant said in a blog post. The company stressed the preview of the Copilot will become available for Windows 11 from June. Users will be able to activate the feature via a new taskbar button, after which it will be visible as a sidebar.
Furthermore, Microsoft said it will adopt the same open plugin standard that OpenAI is using for ChatGPT, allowing developers to use a single platform to build plugins that work "across both consumer and business surfaces, including ChatGPT, Bing, Dynamics 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot."
