Microsoft is rolling out an update for its Copilot app on Windows, introducing two new features: file search and vision.
File search allows users to find, open, and ask questions about the contents of a file on their device. The feature supports most file types, including .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .txt, .pdf, and .json files.
Copilot Vision lets users share any browser or app window with Copilot, which can then help analyze, offer insights, or answer questions, coaching the user through it aloud. To use this feature, users need to click the glasses icon in their composer, select a browser window or app, and ask Copilot for assistance.
The update is rolling out to Windows Insiders across all Insider Channels via the Microsoft Store. The file search feature will be available to Insiders worldwide, while Copilot Vision will first roll out to Insiders in the U.S. Users can provide feedback on the new features directly within the app by clicking on their profile icon and choosing “Give feedback”.
