Microsoft is putting artificial intelligence (AI) at the heart of Windows, a move that experts say could change the way you do everything with the operating system.
Cortana VS Copilot, it has to be good in the future
Windows Copilot will be an AI chat interface built into Windows. The software will perform tasks like summarizing documents, suggesting music, offering tech support for your PC, and answering questions you might ask a search engine or AI chatbot. The company clearly hopes Copilot will erase memories of Cortana, its former and sometimes unloved assistant.
“Cortana was Microsoft’s attempt at a mobile voice assistant,” tech analyst Bob Bilbruck, the CEO of Captjur, told Lifewire in an email interview. “Copilot is a true AI technology that’s actually built into the entire technology stack as part of the application and the platform. It’s not limited like Cortana was, and it’s now cross-platform with Azure, so it’s going to be able to help across all the operations, applications, and platforms that Microsoft offers. It’s true assistive intelligence that’s built into and integrated with the entire technology stack.”
The latest version of Microsoft’s AI tools will appear in an upcoming preview of Windows. The chatbot will live in an icon in your taskbar that looks like a loop of blue ribbon. Clicking the icon will open a chat interface sidebar for typing questions.
