Microsoft has been working for a long time to bring an AI assistant to Windows. They first tried this in January 2015 with Cortana, but it wasn’t successful. Cortana was shut down recently, after eight years. However, inspired by the AI trend started by ChatGPT, Microsoft decided to try again. They began working on a feature called Windows Copilot. Now, they have released an early preview of Windows Copilot. Here are the details…

What are the benefits of using Windows Copilot?

When Cortana was first announced, many people were excited about the idea of having an AI assistant to help them with their daily tasks. However, the technology wasn’t quite there yet, and Cortana never lived up to its full potential. Now, Microsoft is trying again with Windows Copilot.

This new AI assistant is currently in preview for Windows 11 Dev Channel Insiders. Copilot is designed to provide real-time assistance, helping users with tasks like writing code, composing emails, and creating presentations. The assistant can be accessed by clicking on a taskbar button or using the keyboard shortcut WIN + C.

Once activated, Windows Copilot will appear as a panel on the side of the screen. Users can then give commands to the assistant, such as “type ‘hello world'” or “open Microsoft Edge.” The assistant will then take care of the rest, automatically typing or opening the requested item. In addition to providing real-time assistance, Windows Copilot can also learn from users’ habits and preferences over time.

This means that the assistant will become more accurate and helpful as it is used more. Windows Copilot is still in the early preview stages, but it has the potential to be a powerful productivity tool. The assistant is particularly useful for people who are new to Windows or who have difficulty using a computer.
