Despite numerous important updates throughout the year, Microsoft continues its tradition of delivering major fall updates. On September 11, 26, Microsoft will officially release the major version Windows 2023 11H23 with Copilot AI for applications, along with many other enhancements.
It is very important to note that this feature "Copilot" does not refer to "Windows Copilot” which is already in user testing Windows Insider Program.
What does Windows 11 23H2 with Copilot AI for applications mean?
Microsoft is expanding the capabilities of artificial intelligence to facilitate interactions between the user and applications Windows 11. So that, by "prompts" in "Copilot", the user can "ask applications" to perform certain operations that would otherwise require a lot of time and experience. So, "Copilot” is a virtual assistant that uses artificial intelligence to help the user in applications such as: Paint, Photos, Outlook, Clipchamp.
Accessing "Copilot” is available to every user, this new tool being present in the task bar (Taskbar) or activated by simple key combination Win+C.
Microsoft states that this update Windows 11 23H2 brings over 150 new features, many of which are features we've already seen introduced in beta versions Windows Insider.
app Paint, which for a long time was a useless application that Microsoft seemed to completely forget about, is now significantly improved with the help of artificial intelligence, being ideal for drawing and digital creation. They are added to the application Paint background removal functions (remove background) and layers (layers), as well as a preview of “Cocreator", which brings the power of generative artificial intelligence to the app Paint.
app Photos is greatly enhanced with the help of artificial intelligence. New photo editing features are introduced. With the function Background Blur you can highlight the subject in a photo, quickly and easily. application Photos automatically finds the background in the photo and with one click instantly highlights the subject and blurs the background. For the app Windows Photos the search function is also improved, so now you can quickly find the photo you're looking for based on the photo's content. Artificial intelligence will analyze the elements of each photo and thus the search system will have much greater accuracy than at present. You can also find photos based on where they were taken.
The capabilities of artificial intelligence will be expanded into more applications, and as revealed in the presentation video, Copilot it's about to interact with Adobe's creative apps too, which we know already have artificial intelligence built into them. An example is Adobe Photoshop, where graphic editing can now be done by "prompts".
From what a Microsoft announced, Windows 11 23H2 with Copilot AI will be released on September 26, 2023. Microsoft 365 Copilot for companies (Enterprise) will also be released this fall, on November 1, 2023.
