Microsoft has a new AI feature called Copilot...What is it all about?

How would you like to have your own personal business assistant that is always on call day and night, with no hourly charge? Besides that, it can answer almost any question and even change settings on your devices if necessary.

Is it too good to be true? Not this time. Microsoft has developed a new AI feature called Copilot, and it is a game changer.

Think about it. You have a packed day with meetings and preparation. Suddenly, you find that you need some information quickly, or you need a setting on your device changed. Stressful? Not anymore.

No need to panic or spend extra valuable time searching for answers. Just ask Copilot.

It is a newer, more innovative AI replacement for Cortana, and you are going to love it as your new AI assistant. What makes Copilot so special? For one thing, it is built into the Microsoft Edge browser and integrated directly into Windows 11. What could be easier than that? Copilot can perform a wider range of tasks than ever before.

Have you ever attempted to locate a specific setting on your device and ended up in a void of menus? Now you can simply ask it to change the setting for you with Copilot.

Microsoft has developed Copilot to look like it is inherently part of Windows 11, but it is not built into the operating system. It is more of a bonus feature to make your life easier.

When you summon Copilot, a sidebar appears from the right, revealing an interface comparable to Bing Chat's web version. Here, you can set your conversation style and ask questions on almost any topic. Anything from "Make me a picture of a man working on a computer while sunbathing on tropical beach with palm trees” to "Create a five-day itinerary for my business trip in March, including time for fun activities,” Copilot is ready to assist.

That is not even the best part. Copilot understands what you ask of it so well that it understands not only context but can answer questions and use specific keywords without repeating words. After using Copilot, you may begin to wonder if it is a real person, it is that convincing.

No matter what page you are on in Microsoft Edge, you can use Copilot for answers to any questions you might have. All you need to do is ask questions, like “Give me a summary for the news story I have open on the page. Copilot will then scan the page and do as you ask. Okay, maybe better than a real person.

So, is there a catch? What we know is that the preview of Copilot in the Windows 11 2023 update does not reflect the final product. Microsoft is continuing to polish the interface and will continue to add more features with future updates.

Although Copilot is continuing to evolve, there is no doubt of its potential to make our work and personal lives easier to navigate.
