Windows 11’s new update will add a bunch of AI features

Microsoft publishes several new AI features for Windows 11, including its Copilot vision tool that can scan everything on your screen. The features, which are gradually taking place to everyone now, also include exclusive Copilot tools plus PCs.

To start, all Windows 11 users can now access Copilot Vision via the Copilot application, which uses AI to analyze the content of your screen. With the tool, you can ask questions aloud about what you see about several applications and web pages open on your screen. You can also ask him how to perform specific tasks on your computer, such as how to improve lighting on a photo. Microsoft began to test a more limited form of this functionality last year.

In addition, users with Copilot PC more fueled by Snapdragon can access an “agent” supplied with AI in the Settings application. This allows you to search for a specific parameter with natural language, such as “I want to activate the hours of calm” or “connect the Bluetooth device”. If the agent is able to do the task, he will offer to finish it on your behalf.

Microsoft also makes its preview “Click to do” more useful on PCS Copilot. This feature, which surfaces when users maintain the Windows key and click left on an application, text, website or other content, is designed to help you quickly carry out actions, such as summarizing a paragraph highlighted. As part of its update, Microsoft deploys several new actions that you can carry out by clicking to do, in particular by playing the reading of mastery and pronunciation with its coach reading tool, writing a document in Microsoft Word using Copilot and planning a meeting of teams.

Other features coming only on PCS Copilot include a new sticker generator powered by AI in paint and a tool for selecting objects in the application that allows you to separate and modify specific parts of an image. There is also a new AI lighting option available in photos for Copilot PCs and PCs equipped with Snapdragon, as well as a “perfect” screenshot in the snipping tool that uses AI to “precision to capture the content on your screen”.

Microsoft also publishes certain features that are not linked to AI on all Windows 11 PCs, including a practical color selector in the snipping tool and a new mechanism that allows PCs to automatically solve problems that cause unexpected restarts.

Microsoft says that it will deploy all these features “in next month”. Some of them are already available in the new Windows non -security preview update and as updates that you can download in the Microsoft Store.
