Microsoft started releasing updates to improve Copilo integration in Windows 11. The main new feature is support for plugins, which until now only worked in the web version of the AI assistant.

Copilot more integrated with Windows
- The objective of the new feature is to keep users interacting with the Copilot window longer.
- The user can book restaurants using the OpenTable plugin without leaving the Microsoft assistant, for example, or shop at the grocery store with Instacart (features that will work or not depending on the region).
- According to the company, more Copilot plugins will arrive on Windows 11 later this month.
- You can now also turn your notebook’s battery saving mode on and off using AI chat, request live subtitles, open the narrator, the Windows 11 screen magnifier, and even display a list of Wi-Fi networks available for connection.
Microsoft hopes that users will take advantage of the new features that promise to improve usability in Windows 11, as they do not need to navigate through system menus to access the same functions and settings.
Launch of Copilot updates
Microsoft began gradually releasing new features for Copilot this Thursday (29) for users using Windows 11 in versions 22H2 and 22H3, the most recent.
If you want to try it, you need to activate the option “Get the latest updates as soon as they become available” in the Windows Update menu.
More improvements
Other Windows 11 apps that also use AI features, such as Photos and the Clipchamp video editor, have also received optimizations. Photos now has a tool that can help remove unwanted objects and elements from an image, ‘Generative Erase’. While Clipchamp gained ‘Silence Removal AI’, which, as the English name suggests, can cut parts and noise from videos using artificial intelligence.
