Summary
Microsoft has rolled out an AI-powered upgrade to its Copilot app exclusively for Windows Insiders on Copilot Plus PCs, enhancing users’ search experience.
The new feature allows users to search for files by describing what the file is, instead of relying solely on its name, timeline, or type.
Additionally, users can select an app within the “get guided help” section, which will initiate a Vision session and provide assistance via screen scanning and guided help.
Microsoft is also experimenting with a new Copilot home experience, which surfaces recent apps, files, and conversations.
The new features are available on all Insider channels via the Microsoft Store. Plex
