Windows AI Now ‘Sees’ Your Screen!
What's the story:
Microsoft just launched Copilot Vision in the US — an AI that can “see” your apps and screen to help guide you in real time.
Key Takeaways:
Copilot Vision is now free on Windows 10 & 11 in the US.
It lets you share an app or browser with AI for live help.
Copilot can guide you in tools like Photoshop or explain what’s on your screen.
It’s opt-in only — unlike Recall, it doesn’t auto-record anything.
Works on iOS and Android too, and no Copilot Pro is needed.
Why It’s Important:
This makes AI way more useful — instead of guessing what you’re doing, it can now see your screen and help right when you need it. It’s like having a smart co-worker watching over your shoulder (only when you ask!).
