Microsoft introduces new AI assistant in Windows 11

Copilot will be available to limited users for testing in June

Microsoft has added a new AI assistant to Windows 11 called Windows Copilot, which will be available to use from the taskbar across all apps in June.

Like Bing's AI chat, Copilot helps users by answering simple and complex questions. Since it is integrated with Windows, the AI assistant will help the user make changes to different technical settings and also achieve tasks like summarizing documents, suggesting music and more.

In a blog announcement, Microsoft mentioned, "Once open, the Windows Copilot sidebar stays consistent across your apps, programs and windows, always available to act as your personal assistant. It makes every user a power user, helping you take action, customize your settings and seamlessly connect across your favourite apps."

Currently, Windows Copilot is a text-only tool, however, the company plans to make it a voice assistant as well. Windows Copilot will be available for preview in June and is expected to be more popular than Bing.
