Here’s what it can do.
Haven’t used Windows Copilot yet?
When launched, Copilot appears as a handy sidebar on the right side of your screen.
Generate Text Content
Generating content with Windows Copilot is straightforward.
More Precise provides short, focused answers.
More Creative uses more descriptive language for lengthier responses.
More Balanced strikes a middle ground between the two.
The key is giving Copilot clear instructions upfront so the AI chatbot understands the context.
The more details, the better.
Just modify the generated content to suit your needs perfectly.
Here’s a snippet of a memo it generated for me on request:
2.
I asked Copilot, “Who is the current CEO of Amazon?”
and in five breaths, it gave me key information about Andy Jassy and his background.
Windows Copilot also shines when you need additional details on the same topic.
Copilot again dug into the web and fetched a relevant response!
In this case, I asked it to “summarize this webpage: https://www.howtogeek.com/anker-soundcore-motion-x600-review/."
After some moments, Copilot pulled out the main points of the review into a concise summarization.
you might craft prompts to produce original icons, logos, scene illustrations, concept art, and more.
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
In response, Copilot churned out four images that matched my prompt.
I found the results to be surprisingly realistic and creative, with near-perfect adherence to even obscure context provided.
I clicked on my preferred generated image and was presented with four options.
I could hit the “Share” button to copy the link to that image.
Or I could click “Save” to add it to my Bing Image Collection for later use.
Copilot will then generate a detailed caption explaining the contents identified in the photo.
For example, I uploaded a photo to Copilot and asked for descriptions.
It described the image in detail better than I probably would have.
you could also ask Copilot to read any text it detects in an image.
Its optical character recognition works for everything from street signs to restaurant menus.
For privacy reasons, Copilot will blur any faces it detects before describing the rest of the image.
Copilot will display a confirmation dialog box for verification before opening the app.
you’re free to also use Copilot to control Windows parameters through text and voice commands.
That’s much quicker than digging through the configs app manually.
The one caveat I noticed is that Copilot cannot view or control elements within third-party apps.
Get Coding Assistance
Windows Copilot can be quite helpful if you have a knack for coding.
For example, I asked it to “write a code function to convert date format Javascript.”
It generated functioning code to do so, which I confirmed by testing it in Visual Studio Code.
However, you should review the generated code, as Copilot may not always produce working or efficient code.
The examples I’ve outlined illustrate some of its capabilities.
It may not always get things right, but for the most part, it works well.
Try prompts beyond what I explored on Windows Copilot and see where it might take you.
