Microsoft announced the U.S. availability of Copilot Vision on Windows with Highlights, a new feature designed to enhance user productivity and interaction with Windows PCs. This update integrates Copilot more deeply into the Windows ecosystem, enabling it to assist users in real-time across various tasks.

Copilot Vision allows users to opt-in to a feature where the AI can analyze on-screen content and provide contextual assistance. By enabling Copilot Vision, users can interact with Copilot as it observes their active windows, offering insights, answering questions, and guiding them through tasks. Whether browsing the web, working on a project, or managing daily activities, Copilot Vision aims to streamline workflows by providing instant support.

The feature supports navigation across multiple applications, allowing users to share up to two apps simultaneously with Copilot. This enables the AI to connect relevant information between apps, providing a cohesive experience. Additionally, the Highlights feature offers step-by-step guidance within apps, showing users exactly where to click and what actions to take for specific tasks. Examples include optimizing photo lighting, providing gaming tips, or reviewing travel itineraries to ensure preparedness.

How to Use Copilot Vision

To activate Copilot Vision, users can open the Copilot app on Windows 10 or Windows 11, click the glasses icon in the composer, and select the browser window or app to share. Interaction is straightforward, users can ask Copilot for assistance with their current task, and the AI responds with relevant insights. To end the session, users can press "Stop" or "X" in the composer. The experience is fully opt-in, ensuring user control over when and how Copilot Vision is used.

Additional Features and Availability

The Copilot app on Windows now also includes Deep Research and file search capabilities, further enhancing its utility. Currently, Copilot Vision is available in the U.S. as part of Copilot Labs, with plans to expand to additional non-European countries soon. Microsoft emphasizes ongoing refinements, with user feedback shaping future updates and new features.

A Step Toward Seamless AI Assistance

Copilot Vision on Windows represents a practical advancement in AI integration, offering users a tool that adapts to their needs and provides clear, actionable guidance. By combining real-time screen analysis with app-specific support, Copilot Vision positions itself as a helpful companion for everyday tasks.
