Microsoft debuted its AI-powered Copilot platform and new Surface hardware during an event in New York on Thursday.
) is going all in on generative AI with the debut of its new Copilot platform. A new service that works across Windows 11 and Microsoft 365, Microsoft says Copilot is designed to help users better organize and interact with all of their data.
For instance, if you copy a large swath of text in an email, Copilot will automatically pop up on the right side of your desktop. You can then use the app to summarize your email and search for information in it. For instance, if you get a message about different interesting locations to visit in a city, you can copy it into Copilot and then ask it how far the nearest locale is, rather than having to copy and paste it into Google Maps.
Like the consumer version of Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot pulls in your enterprise data to help you do things like craft emails, plan events, and more. At the start of the day, for instance, you can ask Copilot, "What's hot in my inbox today?" The app will then sift through your email and then pull up and summarize the most pressing ones.
For creators, Microsoft debuted the Surface Laptop Studio 2. Its more powerful laptop yet, Microsoft says the Surface Laptop Studio 2 is more powerful in certain apps than Apple's MacBook Pro with an M2 Max chip.
