Microsoft is rolling out upgraded Copilot Voice and Vision to Windows 11, enabling hands-free “Hey, Copilot” queries that respond to what’s on your screen. In demos, the AI surfaces Spotify settings, drafts bios from photo portfolios, and can plan trips. The cloud-based vision feature sends desktop imagery to Microsoft’s servers, a trade-off the company counters with opt-in controls. A new Copilot Actions tool can autonomously perform tasks like batch photo fixes, with step‑by‑step oversight. An “Ask Copilot” taskbar search is coming; both will roll out gradually to Insiders.
