Microsoft's Copilot vision expands its analytical capabilities
Microsoft just boosted Copilot Vision—you can now use it to analyze whatever file or app you have open on your Windows 10 or 11 PC (for now, only in the US). Think of it as a smarter virtual buddy that helps you figure out what's on your screen and guides you through tasks.
How it works
It's built right into the Copilot Windows app, and you get to choose which apps or windows the AI can see. Whether you want gaming tips, help editing photos in Photoshop Elements, or need info linked between two apps, it's got your back. Plus, nothing gets shared with the AI unless you say so—your privacy stays in your hands.
Competing with AI assistants and screen readers
Unlike basic screen-sharing tools, Copilot Vision works with both web pages and regular desktop apps. There's no word yet on pricing, but its ability to interact with all kinds of software gives it an edge over most AI assistants and screen readers. It's all about making your Windows experience more helpful—and a bit more fun.
