Microsoft is giving Copilot more control over Windows and your files

via The Verge · 4 views · 15h ago

Microsoft just gave Copilot a major upgrade. Your AI assistant is no longer a chatbot. Microsoft revealed Copilot will now directly access local files on Windows. It can see documents and photos, finding context from your PC. This brings new integration, beyond cloud data. Beyond viewing, Copilot gains power to take actions across the operating system. Imagine it completing tasks, managing settings, or organizing your desktop based on commands. This moves Copilot into active control, making it an agent. Microsoft calls this shift "Hybrid AI." This vision sees agents operating seamlessly between cloud and local machine. It blurs the lines, redefining Windows to be more agentic.
