Microsoft has retired the dedicated app for Cortana on Windows in favour of its new AI-based Copilot. The tech giant is set to introduce Copilot in the coming weeks on Windows. Announced back in May during the Build conference, the Windows Copilot is finally open for preview. Microsoft Windows Copilot will be a digital assistant on the platform that will help users get things done faster and more efficiently.
Copilot, first introduced in March, is already on Microsoft 365 enterprise platforms. It was first used by desk-bound employees who wanted AI to generate text for PowerPoint presentations.
Microsoft has confirmed that the Windows Copilot is now available for users to try in preview mode. It has been made available to Windows Insiders in the Beta channel through a controlled feature rollout. Going ahead, the company also confirmed that more features will be added to the Copilot in coming updates.
Insiders who are in the Beta channel and have installed the latest beta version can now click on the new Copilot button or press Win + C to launch Windows Copilot.
Windows Copilot appears as a sidebar docked on the right side. According to the company, the placement keeps it from overlapping over other desktop content and will run unobstructed alongside your open app windows, allowing users to interact with Windows Copilot anytime they need.
