People are already talking at their PCs every day for dictation and note taking, transcriptions, searching, and with important accessibility features like Voice access and Voice typing. Now, your PC can understand you. We\u2019re seeing that when people use voice, they engage with Copilot twice as much as when they use text.\u00a0 This ease of use leads to deeper engagement within Copilot.2<\/p>\n
New wake and goodbye words make it even easier to use, which are generally available for Windows 11 PCs. This opt-in feature gives people a new way to easily start a conversation with Copilot Voice, anytime the feature is enabled.<\/p>\n
To get started, enable \u201cHey, Copilot\u201d in the Settings of your Copilot app, then simply ask a question starting with \u201cHey, Copilot\u2026\u201d. You\u2019ll see the Copilot microphone appear on your screen, along with a chime to indicate that Copilot is listening.<\/p>\n
To end a conversation, you can say \u201cGoodbye\u201d, tap \u2018X\u2019 or Copilot will end the conversation automatically after a few seconds of no interaction. You will hear a chime confirming that the conversation has ended.<\/p>\n
Copilot Vision on Windows is now available worldwide<\/p>\n
We\u2019re also making Copilot Vision on Windows available in all markets where Copilot is offered.<\/p>\n
Including:<\/p>\n
Full desktop and app sharing: When you share your desktop or applications, Copilot can help analyze content, provide insights and answer your questions, coaching you through it aloud. Get tips on making improvements to your creative project, help with improving your resume or guidance while navigating a new game.
\nHighlights: With Highlights, you can ask Copilot \u201cshow me how\u201d for a specific task and it will show you within the app where to click and what to do. Altogether, Copilot can be by your side giving you tips while playing a game, viewing your photo and showing you how to improve the lighting to make it perfect, or reviewing your travel itinerary to let you know if your packing list is sufficient based on your destination.
\nFull app context in Word, Excel and PowerPoint: When you share Word, Excel or PowerPoint files, Vision can see beyond what\u2019s available on your screen. For example, if you ask Copilot to help review a PowerPoint deck, it could analyze the entire presentation without needing to flip through each slide.
\nText-in Text-out: Coming to Windows Insiders soon, we\u2019re also enabling the ability to converse with Copilot Vision using text, with Copilot responding in text within the same chat window. Previously you could only use Vision using voice, and Copilot would coach you through it aloud. So, whether you forget your headphones or just prefer engaging via text, Vision will soon be able to support you across whichever scenario suits you best.<\/p>\n
Delivering deeper and richer Windows 11 experiences, coming soon to Windows Insiders and Copilot Labs<\/p>\n
The energy and enthusiasm of the Windows Insider community has helped shape the future of Windows for over a decade. Now, alongside Copilot Labs, we\u2019re bringing even more experimental AI and agentic features to Windows Insiders.<\/p>\n
To ensure we deliver an experience our customers truly love, we\u2019ll start by previewing the following experiences in the Windows Insider Program where your feedback will guide us as we refine and evolve the experiences.<\/p>\n
Bringing Copilot into your flow with a reimagined taskbar experience<\/p>\n
\t\t\t <\/a><\/p>\n With the new Ask Copilot on the taskbar, Copilot becomes a natural part of how you use your PC, ready to help, guide and collaborate the moment you need it.<\/p>\n Our vision is simple yet bold: to make the taskbar a dynamic hub that helps you accomplish more with less effort, transforming everyday interactions into moments of productivity and delight. This opt-in experience provides one click access to Copilot Vision and Voice, enabling more natural engagement in your flow. With utility across voice, text and guided support with Copilot Vision, you can engage Copilot on your terms, in the way that works best for you.<\/p>\n With lightning-fast search results in a refreshed design, the new streamlined search experience makes finding apps, files and settings faster and easier, with results appearing and updating instantly as you type.<\/p>\n This experience leverages existing Windows APIs to return your apps, files and settings, like the Windows Search experience and does not grant Copilot access to your content.<\/p>\n Previewing Copilot Actions for local files in Copilot Labs<\/p>\n \t\t\t <\/a><\/p>\n In May, we announced Copilot Actions on the web<\/a> \u2013 allowing Copilot to take real actions on your behalf, like booking a table at your favorite restaurant or ordering groceries.<\/p>\n Coming soon to Windows Insiders in Copilot Labs, we\u2019re previewing an experimental capability for Copilot Actions to expand beyond the browser to take actions directly on local files in Windows.<\/p>\n Whether you need a hand sorting through your recent vacation photos or need to extract info from a PDF, Copilot Actions can do the heavy lifting for you based on the context of what\u2019s on your PC.<\/p>\n As a general-purpose agent\u2014simply describe the task you want to complete in your own words, and the agent will attempt to complete it by interacting with desktop and web applications.<\/p>\n While this is happening, you can choose to focus on other tasks. At any time, you can take over the task or check in on the progress of the action, including reviewing what actions have been taken.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll be starting with a narrow set of use cases while we optimize model performance and learn. You may see the agent make mistakes or encounter challenges with complex interfaces, which is why real-world testing of this experience is so critical to help us apply learnings to make this experience more capable and streamlined.<\/p>\n Bringing even more functionality to Copilot on Windows, with Copilot connectors, easy doc creation and Windows settings integration<\/p>\n \t\t\t <\/a><\/p>\n Copilot connectors,<\/a> now available to Windows Insiders, allow you to link your favorite services such as OneDrive files and Outlook contacts, emails and calendar events, as well as Google services including Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts, directly to the Copilot on Windows app.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve opted in to connect a service, Copilot can find and understand your personal content using your own words, making it easier to find and remember details in your connected personal content across multiple platforms.\u00a0 For example, you can say:<\/p>\n \u201cFind my dentist appointment details\u201d to instantly surface calendar entries. You can now also ask Copilot to export your text to Word, Excel or PowerPoint, making it easier to jump right into projects. For example, if you asked Copilot for help with a homework assignment, you could export the results directly into a formatted document, spreadsheet or presentation of your choosing.<\/p>\n Finally, we\u2019re also adding an integration with Copilot on Windows with Windows Settings. Just ask Copilot a question about your Windows PC settings using your own words, which will provide a direct link to the relevant Windows Settings.\u00a0 So now you can send directions such as, \u201cMake my screen easier to read\u201d or \u201cHelp me focus by reducing distractions,\u201d and Copilot will guide you to the relevant Windows settings page.<\/p>\n Delivering deeper and more powerful AI actions so you can stay in your flow\u00a0<\/p>\n We\u2019re\u00a0excited to introduce even more ways to get things done easier with new AI actions in Windows.<\/p>\n Manus<\/a> is a general AI agent that can take on various tasks on your PC. With the new Manus AI action in File Explorer, you can get help with complex tasks like creating a website using the documents in\u00a0your local\u00a0folder with just one click.\u00a0Simply select the document, right\u00a0click\u00a0and\u00a0select \u201ccreate website with Manus,\u201d\u00a0and Manus will build a\u00a0website for you in just minutes\u00a0\u2013\u00a0no\u00a0uploading, no coding.<\/p>\n Manus is also available as a native app on Windows.\u00a0You can get the same\u00a0AI powered\u00a0assistance\u00a0from Manus to build a website\u00a0right from the chat window without leaving your session.\u00a0Simply type in\u00a0the\u00a0Manus\u00a0app,\u00a0\u201cPlease use the image files on my device and generate a great professional looking website\u201d.<\/p>\n Manus\u00a0leverages\u00a0the agentic platform capabilities available on Windows like Model Context Protocol to fetch the right document and build\u00a0a website for you in minutes \u2013\u00a0no\u00a0manually uploading your photos, no multiple clicks!\u00a0You stay in your\u00a0session\u00a0or get to another task while Manus works in the background securely to help you\u00a0accomplish\u00a0your task.\u00a0\u00a0This experience is in private preview and we\u2019ll have additional updates to share soon.

Windows 11 is the most secure operating system we\u2019ve ever made\u2014by design and by default\u2014with multiple layers of defense enabled to protect you from the moment you power on your PC.<\/p>\n Security isn\u2019t a checkbox; it\u2019s an ongoing commitment. As we introduce powerful new agentic experiences on Windows, we\u2019re more committed to evolving our safeguards to protect your privacy and security.<\/p>\n Below are three security commitments we\u2019re making as we add Copilot Actions, another step in the agentic journey on Windows:<\/p>\n You\u2019re always in control of what Copilot Actions can do. Copilot Actions is turned off by default and you\u2019re able to pause, take control or disable it at any time. For more information, see Securing AI agents on Windows<\/a>.<\/p>\n Windows is committed to being the best, most secure platform for agentic experiences. We look forward to sharing more on security for agents on Windows, including enterprise controls, at Microsoft Ignite next month.<\/p>\n There\u2019s never been a better time to upgrade to a Windows 11 PC<\/p>\n With support for Windows 10 PCs<\/a> now ended, millions are upgrading to new Windows PCs that are faster, more secure and built for the future.
