Copilot in Windows

  • Article

Copilot in Windows adds AI to the Windows experience—AI-powered Copilot is built in to help users find answers and get things done. Windows joins Bing and Microsoft Edge as an additional entry point for Copilot that supports commercial data protection. You get the same Copilot protection and functionality—such as the ability to quickly make sense of long articles on the web, craft and polish your content, and create stunning images—all directly within the Windows experience.
