What is Microsoft Copilot and how does it work in Windows?

Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant built into Windows that helps you with tasks right from your desktop. You'll see a Copilot icon in your taskbar — click it to open a chat window where you can ask questions, get help with writing, or ask it to do things on your computer. It's included free with Windows.

Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant integrated directly into Windows 11. It sits in your taskbar and opens when you click it, giving you a chatbot interface similar to ChatGPT. You can ask it questions, request help with your work, ask it to explain topics, or even command it to help with tasks on your computer. Because it's built into Windows, it understands your system and can provide contextual help.
