Microsoft has announced an update to its Copilot Preview for Windows 11, introducing a suite of new features designed to streamline user experience and enhance productivity, explained a spokesperson to iPhone in Canada.
The update includes the integration of plugins from popular apps such as OpenTable, Shopify, and Kayak, alongside new skills aimed at simplifying tasks for Windows users.
The introduction of the Copilot Key on new Windows 11 PC keyboards, updates to the Copilot icon on the taskbar, and improvements to the Copilot pane’s functionality, such as docking, undocking, and resizing, are among the enhancements for Windows 11.
In the coming month, Microsoft plans to bring AI-powered editing tools in the Photos app, a preview of Clipchamp’s silence removal feature, and updates to Snap, Widgets, and Inking features. These features will make video editing and multitasking easier for users.
For enterprise customers, the company says Windows Autopatch will now become the unifying Windows update management solution.
