Windows 12 Launches with Built-in AI Assistant Copilot from Microsoft
Microsoft has officially unveiled Windows 12, the next-generation operating system with a major innovation: the integration of Copilot — a built-in AI assistant designed to interact with files, applications, and system settings based on user behavior.
Copilot operates across the entire OS. It assists with editing documents in Word, analyzing data in Excel, managing emails in Outlook, customizing PC settings, and even generating content. Instead of navigating through menus, users can issue natural language commands such as “Open my recent Excel files” or “Write an email summary of today’s meeting.” The assistant understands the request and performs the task instantly.
One of Copilot’s key features is privacy protection. While some data is processed in the cloud, sensitive tasks and interactions are handled locally on the device to ensure user confidentiality. This balance aims to offer both powerful AI performance and high data security.
Microsoft positions Windows 12 as the first step toward a new era of intelligent computing. The goal is to transform the operating system from a tool into an active, context-aware partner that enhances productivity and simplifies digital interactions. With Copilot, users can focus more on their goals and less on technical routines.
Beyond the AI integration, Windows 12 introduces a refreshed user interface, performance improvements, enhanced multitasking features, and tighter integration with Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem. Whether for personal use, business, or education, the OS is designed to adapt intelligently to user needs.
Copilot will come pre-installed on all new Windows 12 devices and will also be available as an update for compatible systems. According to Microsoft, this marks a major milestone in its long-term vision of combining AI and productivity in everyday computing.
