What is Copilot?
"What is Copilot?" is a common question as interest in AI keeps growing. Not too long ago, people were asking about ChatGPT instead. Copilot is an AI-powered tool that you can find on Windows 11 and other platforms. You can access it from the taskbar or use the Copilot keyboard key on certain Windows PCs.
On Windows 11, Copilot is your AI companion, conveniently located on the right panel. It can help you with a wide range of tasks, like asking questions based on text conversations on your phone that's connected to your PC. One cool feature is its integration with Paint, where it can quickly remove the background of an uploaded image with just one click. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. You can also use Copilot to adjust Windows 11 settings, like organizing windows and enabling dark mode.
If you have a Microsoft account, you can use Copilot on your PC without any additional cost. You can also try out the free version of Copilot on copilot.microsoft.com through your browser. For a smooth mobile experience, you can download Copilot from Google Play or the Apple App Store, and it's all complimentary.
The free tier of Copilot gives you access to GPT-4, the same AI model used by OpenAI's ChatGPT. If you want even more features, you can subscribe to Copilot Pro for $20 per month, which currently has a free trial available. With Copilot Pro, you can enjoy AI-powered assistance in Microsoft 365 apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
If you want to level up your Copilot experience, you can check out the new category of PCs called "Copilot+ PCs," starting with the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11. These PCs come with an NPU processor specifically designed for AI tasks, giving Copilot advanced features and performance compared to other platforms.
With Copilot+ PCs, you can easily edit photos directly in File Explorer by removing the background, and even get summarized notifications for texts and emails. Plus, there's a controversial feature called Recall, which records your PC activity throughout the day using AI, allowing you to search for things in your past using natural language. For example, if you saw a blue dress while shopping online but forgot to save it, Recall can help you find it.
Copilot is not just for consumers, it also benefits businesses and developers. Microsoft 365 Business and GitHub Copilot utilize Copilot for various purposes. As the AI race continues, Microsoft is likely to add more features to Copilot. Stay tuned for our coverage of any future upgrades.
