Pressing the copilot button to instantly bring up a text box where you can interact with an LLM is amazing UI/UX for productivity. LLMs are by far the best way to retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct).
If this had been released with Agentic features that allow it to search the web, use toolscripts like fetching time/date and stuff from the OS, use recall, properly integrate with the microsoft app suite. It would be game changing.
We already have proof that this is a popular feature for users since its been integrated in every mobile phone for the past 10 years.
Obviously I am not talking about copilot being built in to other OSs. I am talking about an OS assistant that uses LLMs to handle natural language queries being built into OSs.
Yes it has, IOS and Android have had siri, bixby and google assistant for over a decade.
In copilots current form its chatgpt with some basic functionality added on. Its a baby compared to siri, bixby and google assistant. I think its a good addtition to windows and we will see it grow to be a more powerful version of google assistant and we will see this develop and be implemented on the other major desktop OSs.
