"Should you install this program you're about to download from an unfamiliar website? Are you certain that your email messages are going directly to their recipient without being intercepted? Is it safe to provide that merchant with your credit card details? Soon, owners of PCs running Windows 11 will have another question to add to that list: Should you trust this Copilot agent to poke around in your files and interact with apps on your behalf?"
"Copilot Actions is an AI agent that completes tasks for you by interacting with your apps and files, using vision and advanced reasoning to click, type, and scroll like a human would. This transforms agents from passive assistants into active digital collaborators that can carry out complex tasks for you to enhance efficiency and productivity -- like updating documents, organizing files, booking tickets, or sending emails."
Windows 11 will add Copilot Actions, AI agents that interact with apps and files to perform tasks like updating documents, organizing files, booking tickets, and sending emails. After user permission, the agents use vision and advanced reasoning to click, type, and scroll within applications and leverage local apps and data on the PC. Granting agents access to personal files and app credentials raises significant security and privacy trust decisions. Microsoft is making Copilot Actions available to Windows Insider Program testers first, and additional testing and security controls are expected before wide public release.
