Microsoft has introduced a new AI-powered agent for settings control in Copilot+ PCs, designed to simplify how users adjust their computer settings. The agent utilizes on-device AI to understand natural language queries, allowing users to ask questions like "how to control my PC by voice" or "my mouse pointer is too small." The AI will then either provide an answer or automatically make the requested changes, streamlining the user experience and eliminating the need to navigate through complex menus. Initially, this feature will support English language queries and is being rolled out to Copilot+ PCs equipped with Snapdragon chips, with plans to expand support to Intel and AMD-powered computers in the near future.
Microsoft is also enhancing the capabilities of its Click to Do feature for Copilot AI assistance. This feature, accessible while a computer screen is active, will now be able to act on text or images. Examples include creating bulleted lists from selected text or drafting copy into Microsoft Word, improving efficiency in content creation. Additionally, new actions will include scheduling meetings, sending messages via Microsoft Teams, and transferring data to Microsoft Excel. The agent will also support a computer's Reading Coach and Immersive Reader modes.
These AI enhancements aim to seamlessly integrate AI into everyday computing tasks. Beyond the settings control agent and Click to Do improvements, Windows search is receiving AI-driven upgrades, enabling users to find files using natural language. Copilot will also gain support for screen sharing through Copilot Vision on Windows. Microsoft will also add enhanced search to its Photos app, showcasing Microsoft's commitment to leveraging AI to improve the overall Windows 11 and Copilot+ PC user experience.
