Would you like to have a helper to do your chores at the office? Ever get confused about how to use certain software? Don’t be shy about admitting it, because we’re only human and don’t know everything. This morning, Microsoft announced an update to Windows 11 that instantly turns all Copilot+ PCs into voice-controlled assistants
The new feature is powered by Copilot Voice and Copilot Vision. With Copilot Voice, you can give voice commands to Copilot to give you suggestions on how to use software you might not be familiar with. With the help of Copilot Vision, you can instruct Copilot to look at Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents and have it suggest what needs to be changed to make them better.
Owners can summon this “AI assistant” by saying “Hey Copilot,” and it also has a feature to give suggestions while you’re in a video game session. This in-game assistance feature is also supported on the newly launched ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X portable PC consoles.
Next, Microsoft will expand the Copilot Actions feature that allows Copilot to interact with websites, software and files contained on the PC. For example, users can tell Copilot to edit 10 photos while on vacation and then send them to family members via email.
All of this will be done in the background while the owner does other more important tasks at the office, for example. This AI agent can be monitored at all times to ensure that it does what it is instructed to do correctly.
With the introduction of various artificial intelligence features and Copilot agents, Microsoft is trying to attract people to move to their platform just a few days after support for Windows 10 was discontinued.
