Microsoft is making a quiet push towards smarter photo management with the introduction of Copilot, its AI-powered plug-in for its Photos app. While it’s still in its early stages, Copilot holds promise for a more streamlined photo experience.
The news comes courtesy of the Windows enthusiast @PhantomOfEarth. If you’re running the latest version of the Photos app (version number 2024.11030.22001.0), you might find a new option in the plug-in settings – a toggle for Copilot.
Not all Windows users may have access to the new version of the Photos app yet
But what can Copilot do for you right now? For the time being, its functionalities are a bit limited. It can help you craft slideshows. Users can effortlessly create and browse photo slideshows directly within the Photos app and relive their memories. Users can set any photo as a desktop background in a breeze.
While these might seem like basic features initially, Copilot’s potential for growth is exciting. It’s important to note that not all Windows users may have access to this new version of the Photos app just yet.
Microsoft has been steadily adding AI muscle to the Photos app. Back in November 2023, Windows Insiders gained access to some impressive AI-powered features. These included background removal magic, where users can effortlessly remove unwanted backgrounds from your photos, opening doors for more creative edits. Or the enhanced slideshow experience, since the Filmstrip slideshow mode received an upgrade, making it even more enjoyable to revisit your photo collection. A new timeline scrollbar based on the time range of your images allows for smoother navigation through your photo library.
