Overview

• Microsoft has begun a phased release of three AI features—Recall, natural language Windows search, and Click to Do—via the April 2025 Windows non-security preview update.
• Recall, an opt-in feature, captures and indexes local screenshots for easy search but includes encryption, Windows Hello authentication, and app/website filtering to address privacy concerns.
• The improved AI-powered Windows search allows users to perform natural language queries, claiming to reduce task completion times by up to 70% compared to traditional search methods.
• Click to Do provides contextual AI-driven actions for selected text or images, with all processing performed locally to ensure user privacy.
• These features are exclusive to Copilot+ PCs that meet stringent hardware requirements, including Secured-core compliance, a neural processing unit, and biometric authentication.
