Microsoft Launched Copilot + PCs with Exclusive AI Features

Microsoft recently launched a new category of personal computers with integrated AI features. They named it “Copilot + PC”. These PCs are designed to integrate artificial intelligence capabilities directly into the devices. As these Copilot + PCs are equipped with AI hardware and support for AI features across the operating system, I will allow the system to handle more artificial intelligence tasks without relying on cloud data centers.

Exclusive AI features of Copilot + PCs

• Recall

This particular feature acts as a snapshot tool for users that can remember work as you go by capturing snapshots of applications and screens to help you find lost information or files.

• Co-create

Co-create is an AI imaging tool that enhances your art as you draw by offering various levels of “imagination” to upgrade your drawings. It will enhance the art piece by adding shadows or reflections, transforming hand-drawn images into artistic renditions.

• Windows Studio Effects

It is a webcam filter set that allows you to blur backgrounds or add special effects to any program using your camera. This feature is similar to what we see in Nvidia Broadcast or XSplit Vcam.

• Live Captions with Translation

It is a tool to provide enhanced Live Captions that can be translated live. Microsoft has somewhere tried to surpass OpenAI’s latest GPT- 4o update in live vocal translation with this feature.

These exclusive features along with the other recent updates like the Copilot AI assistant, dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard, and the integration of AI models within Windows 11 make Copilot + PCs stand out as advanced AI-ready devices designed to enhance productivity and creativity.
