Caution is always advised when making big announcements: At this year's developer conference in May, Microsoft promised nothing less than to usher in a "new era of productivity" with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and the new Windows Copilot. If you look back almost ten years, it sounded similar when the digital voice assistant Cortana was introduced. However, it will completely disappear from all operating systems at the end of this year.
But beyond the seemingly inevitable marketing noise, the initial conditions have fundamentally changed since then. The introduction of Chat-GPT at the end of 2022 and the numerous AI tools and services that followed have impressively demonstrated what artificial intelligence can now do: answer questions, write texts, summarize and translate them, create images and videos, recognize the content of images and faces, Internet searches and much more.
In this blog post, I would like to give you an overview of the most important features and benefits of Windows Copilot, an innovative AI-based assistant designed to make life and work with your PC easier. I'll also highlight some of the challenges and limitations associated with using AI and give you tips on how to get the most out of Windows Copilot.
