Microsoft Unveils AI Assistant 'Copilot' for Windows 11 to Boost Productivity

Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant for Windows 11 that can summarize text, write emails, change settings, create images, transcribe audio/video, and more.

To enable Copilot, update to the latest Windows 11 version and click the Copilot button in the taskbar or press Win + C.

To disable Copilot, remove it from the taskbar in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar. Or use PowerShell to completely delete it.

Limitations include sometimes making things up (hallucination), not retaining info between sessions, and limited integration with 3rd party services.

It's different than GitHub Copilot which is focused on helping write and edit code, while Microsoft Copilot has broader functionality.
