Microsoft’s latest update for Copilot on Windows appears to include features that could be genuinely helpful, especially after a period of underwhelming updates. Here’s what to expect:
Key Features
-
File Search: This new capability allows users to search for specific contents within documents on their system. For instance, you might ask, “Look at my budget file and tell me how much I spent on dining last month.”
-
Vision Feature: Copilot is gaining the ability to interact across different apps and browsers. Users can click the glasses icon to share a window or app with Copilot and get assistance based on what they are working on.
Both functionalities aim to improve productivity and streamline user interactions. Microsoft emphasizes that these features were anticipated at Copilot’s launch but have only recently materialized.
Conclusion
This update signals an exciting shift for Copilot, particularly for users who value organizational tools for their digital files and applications. Overall, they represent meaningful advancements beyond previous, less engaging features.
