"Soon, a Copilot box may even replace the search box on your taskbar. According to Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's consumer marketing chief, Copilot Voice and Copilot Vision are coming to "every Windows 11 device where Copilot is available." Users can bark instructions with the wake word "Hey Copilot," and have Copilot Vision analyze what's on their screens without investing in Copilot+ hardware."
"The features are on a gradual rollout and Microsoft hasn't said exactly when everyone can expect to get them. However, The Register's US Editor, Avram Piltch, got access this morning to the always-listening feature on a virtual machine he was running with Windows 11 Beta Channel installed. When he launched the Copilot app, Piltch saw a button allowing him to enable the feature (or not)."
"After clicking the button, he watched a web video about a mechanical keyboard and asked Copilot "what keyboard is that" to which it correctly replied "the Keychron K2 HE" (note that the name of the keyboard was on the web page). He then asked Copilot for pricing and the assistant responded correctly that it's $139. However, when Piltch asked Copilot to perform some actions, it only told him what to do, rather than doing it for him."
Microsoft is introducing voice-activated Copilot Voice and Copilot Vision to Windows 11 devices, enabling "Hey Copilot" wake-word activation and screen analysis without Copilot+ hardware. A Copilot box may replace the taskbar search box. The rollout is gradual with no firm timeline. The always-listening feature can be enabled and invoked on Windows 11 Beta, while Copilot Vision requires a manual button press to analyze the screen. Copilot successfully identified a Keychron K2 HE keyboard and its price, but declined to navigate to purchase pages, open apps, or change settings, instead instructing the user what to do.
