Microsoft is giving Copilot more control over Windows and your files

Summary

At a Windows and Surface event, Microsoft showed an upgraded Copilot that can access local files on a PC and take actions across the operating system. The feature is part of what Microsoft calls "Hybrid Intelligence," in which apps rely on a mix of local and cloud AI models. A stage demo had Jacob Andreou, Microsoft's EVP of Copilot, asking the Autopilot tool to help file taxes.
