The first PC models that will offer this new touch will be offered for sale from February 2024. Copilot is an assistive artificial intelligence, which will be integrated into all Microsoft software. But then, what is this tool for? What changes for Windows users? It is a tool, which works on the basis of ChatGPT, will be a real assistant for users of these PCs.

The goal of Copilot is to help users optimize their work. Indeed, by being integrated into the Microsoft Office suite (which therefore includes Word, Excel, or Powerpoint), it can offer to generate texts in Word, integrate more efficient formulas in Excel or even automatically generate PowerPoint presentations.
