Microsoft has been promising to build an AI assistant into Windows for months — and now it’s here. Sort of. Windows Copilot AI has arrived in a pre-release form for Windows 11, but it’s a long way short of what Microsoft originally promised.
When Microsoft first teased Windows Copilot, it was portrayed as a hugely powerful AI assistant that would seamlessly adjust settings, interact with installed apps such as Spotify, and let the AI examine the contents of documents. This first release is much more limited.
