Microsoft’s announcement emphasizes that users will still have access to robust productivity features within Windows and Edge, offering increased AI capabilities. Notably, it highlights the integration of OpenAI’s GPT-4 technology into Bing, enhancing search functionality. Additionally, Microsoft introduced the Microsoft 365 Copilot tool, leveraging text-based prompts to generate content within Office apps in March.
Furthermore, during the recent Build developer conference in late May, Microsoft unveiled its plans to deeply integrate AI into Windows 11 by introducing a Copilot tool in the platform’s sidebar. This AI-powered tool allows users to perform various tasks within the operating system, such as modifying computer backgrounds, editing photos, and summarizing documents, without launching specific applications or searching for particular settings. With the advent of Copilot, it is expected that Cortana’s absence will have minimal impact, as users transition to the new and advanced AI-powered tool.
