Microsoft’s Copilot Tasks AI uses its own computer to get things done
Summary
Microsoft is previewing Copilot Tasks, an AI system that runs on Microsoft's cloud servers to complete repetitive work for you, such as scheduling appointments or creating study plans, while you use your own device for other tasks. You can describe what you want using plain English and set the tasks to run once, on a schedule, or repeatedly, and the AI will send you a report when finished.
