Microsoft has announced that it is rolling the AI-powered Windows Copilot providing an early look at the personal assistant to Insiders in the Windows 11 Dev Channel.
Microsoft brought its Windows Copilot to Windows 11 unveiled during the Build conference earlier this year. Windows Copilot will be integrated directly into Windows 11 and can be accessed from the taskbar at any point of time.
How to access Windows Copilot
To get started, users just have to click on the new button on the taskbar (or WIN + C) to launch Windows Copilot. Windows Copilot will use the same Microsoft account (MSA) or Azure Active Directory (AAD) account used to sign-in to Windows.

Windows Copilot will appear as a side bar on the right side of the screen just like Bing Chat. The window will run alongside other apps, allowing users to interact with Windows Copilot at any time.
In the first preview, users can ask Windows Copilot a set of questions or to take actions, including:
- Change to dark mode.
- Turn on ‘do not disturb’.
- Take a screenshot.
- Summarise this website (Active tab in Microsoft Edge)
- Write a story about a dog who lives on the moon.
- Make me a picture of a serene koi fish pond with lily pads.
“Windows Copilot with Bing Chat generates responses that are contextual and improves your experience in Windows. You may see inline recommendations we think are relevant through ads in Bing. We’ll continue to learn and listen to customer feedback,” the company said.
