Microsoft Tests Copilot Vision for Screen Sharing and AI File Search on Windows

The new features, currently available to US-based Windows Insiders, aim to enhance app navigation and file management through real-time AI assistance.

Microsoft's Copilot Vision update allows users to share any app or window with the AI assistant for real-time guidance and insights.
The update introduces natural language file search, enabling users to locate and query file contents across various formats such as PDFs, Word documents, and spreadsheets.
These features are being tested exclusively with Windows Insider participants in the United States, with broader availability expected in the future.
Copilot Vision is designed to help users navigate complex software by providing contextual assistance directly within app interfaces.
The integration relies on cloud-based processing, raising ongoing questions about data privacy and encryption, which Microsoft has yet to fully address.
