Microsoft wants to transform its Copilot into a trainer. The Redmond-based company has just released an update to its AI assistant, aiming to make it a real coach for carrying out your daily tasks on your PC. Copilot Vision, the name of this new Copilot feature, is currently available only to Insider members via an update to the AI assistant downloadable from the Microsoft Store.
Copilot Vision will help you with your tasks
Microsoft's Copilot will soon be able to coach you aloud. To do this, Copilot Vision, the feature Microsoft is currently testing, will need to access the content of your screen. And more specifically to your web browser window, or an application, after your authorization, obviously. With Copilot Vision, Microsoft's AI will be able to analyze what you are doing to suggest ideas or answer your questions.
By activating Vision via the dedicated icon, represented by a pair of glasses, Copilot will guide you aloud in your tasks. Microsoft gives few details about the capabilities offered by this new function, but still explains that you will be able to ask Copilot "helps you with whatever you're working on."
From then on, we can imagine that Copilot will be able to guide you through the steps to follow to, for example, complete a complex task in Excel or edit an image in software like Photoshop.
Copilot Vision is currently being tested with Insiders via Copilot update 1.25034.133.0 or later, available on the Microsoft Store. Also note that only users residing in the United States can, for now, access this function.
Improved file search
Another new feature is improved search with Copilot. Concretely, you will soon be able to ask Copilot lets you search for files in Windows. After granting Copilot the necessary permissions, including access to your files, it can find your documents. You just need to ask directly in the form of a sentence, without needing to specify the name of the file.
Like Copilot Vision, this improved search feature with Copilot is also being tested, currently only with Insiders. However, it is being rolled out gradually to users worldwide.
