Microsoft recently announced the launch of Microsoft Copilot, a groundbreaking AI companion designed to revolutionise the way people interact with technology and enhance productivity. 

This solution will be available in Windows 11, Microsoft 365, Edge, and Bing for a seamless AI-powered experience across applications and devices.

At Microsoft, we think about this as having a copilot to help navigate any task,” said Microsoft Corporate Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer Yusuf Mehdi. Microsoft said AI capabilities have been unified into a single experience called Microsoft Copilot.

it began rolling out in its early form in the next release of Windows 11 from 26 September.
