Microsoft first introduced Copilot Vision in late 2024, but as of May 2026, it has officially transitioned from a "preview experiment" to a standard feature in the latest Windows 11 builds.
After years of user skepticism, the feature is finding its footing. Interest in "contextual AI," a phrase for AI tools that understand what you're doing without you having to explain it, is exploding.
Whether you’re troubleshooting a broken Excel macro or summarizing a restricted PDF, Copilot Vision is Microsoft’s answer to making your PC feel "aware."
