The Bing Copilot and 365 Copilot will be followed by the Windows Copilot. Windows 11 is expected to offer a system-wide AI assistant based on ChatGPT from the autumn.

Microsoft announced at the Build developer conference that Windows 11 will receive a system-wide working Copilot. It is based on ChatGPT - or GPT-4 - and offers some useful functions.

The new Windows Copilot should work with all programmes and also the settings of Windows 11. In addition to answering questions, which can also be complex, the assistant analyses images and texts, creates summaries or rewrites texts, for example.

If you want to work with the new assistant, you can use it in a window or docked to a programme. It will be available to Windows Insiders from June and is expected to be rolled out to the general public in autumn.

Windows Copilot is the latest Copilot addition to Microsoft's products. Since February, the Bing search engine has had a ChatGPT-based AI assistant. This was integrated into the Windows taskbar about a month later. This was followed in March by the announcement of the 365 Copilot, which has the potential to make some human assistants superfluous. This is currently only available to a small number of test users - it is due to be officially released as a paid Office add-on at some point.
