Copilot on Windows: Vision and file search begin rolling out to Windows Insiders

[Brandon LeBlanc]

Hello Windows Insiders, we are beginning to roll out an update for the Microsoft Copilot app on Windows via the Microsoft Store which introduces the following changes and improvements: File search: You can now find, open and ask questions about the contents of a file on your device from the Copilot on Windows app. You can adjust your permissions for what Copilot can access, retrieve, or read in Copilot Settings under Permission settings. File search supports most file types and can read .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .txt, .pdf, .json files. Ask Copilot questions like "Can you find my resume", "Open the trip planning doc I was working on last week", or "Look at my budget file and tell me how much I spent on dining last month".

Copilot can then help analyze, offer insights, or answer your questions, coaching you through it aloud. To get started click the glasses icon in your composer, select which browser window or app you want to share, and ask Copilot to help with whatever you’re working on. To stop sharing, press 'Stop' or 'X' in the composer.

Copilot Vision on Windows will first roll out to Insiders in the U.S., and file search will roll out to Insiders worldwide. The above-mentioned features are gradually rolling out so not all Insiders will get the update right away. We are excited to be previewing improvements with our Insiders to ensure all our customers have a great Copilot experience on Windows. FEEDBACK: Please provide feedback directly within the Copilot app by clicking on your profile icon and choosing “Give feedback”. Thanks, Microsoft Copilot Team

I removed everything Microsoft from my windows, even notepad, I don't want AI in any app on my system.

Google have something similar in their AI studio. I have not used it yet, but will probably try it sometime. Good video here :


I am a person who is prepared to give the likes of Copilot and Google a go. I am prepared to trust such companies if their privacy policies are reasonably transparent for the common person. Data breach security is much more important to me, and both Microsoft and Google are companies that I have faith in.
