UMVA has learned that Microsoft's AI tool, Copilot, is packed with features that can revolutionize the way you work and interact with your computer.
From editing images to creating cheat sheets, Copilot is designed to be a useful assistant that can help you learn faster and work smarter. One of its most impressive features is its ability to edit images without installing a dedicated app.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Copilot can also identify objects on your screen, helping you find information about an image or video. This feature, known as Copilot Vision, can look at any open window on your PC and provide detailed information about what's on your screen.
To get started with Copilot, you can use a keyboard shortcut to launch the app quickly. Simply press Win-C, and the cursor will be placed in the chat window, allowing you to start typing your query right away. You can also launch Copilot with Alt-Space or by saying "Hey Copilot".
However, some users may be concerned about sharing their data with Copilot. By default, Copilot uses your conversations as training materials, but you can opt out of this feature by heading to Copilot Settings > Privacy and turning off Training on voice conversations and Training on conversation activity.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Copilot also has a feature called "connectors" that allows you to link your Google accounts to the AI service. This means you can access your Google Calendar events, emails in Gmail, and files in Google Drive, and rely on Copilot to give you a summary of your day.
To enable this feature, go to Copilot Settings > Connectors and connect all Google services available. This will allow Copilot to access your Google accounts and provide you with personalized information.
Another useful feature of Copilot is its ability to create cheat sheets to help you learn faster. You can ask Copilot to create a cheat sheet on practically any subject, and it will provide you with a neat table that you can copy and memorize.
UMVA has gathered that Copilot performs best when you show it what a good sample looks like. By providing Copilot with a sample, you can help it understand what you're looking for and get more accurate results.
Microsoft recommends using a specific prompt template to get perfect responses from Copilot. This template involves defining a persona, objective, audience, parameters, and adding context. For example, you can ask Copilot to review a short story you've written and provide feedback on its concision and gripping storyline.
In addition to these features, Copilot also has an "Experiments" section where you can try out new and experimental AI features. This section is great for staying on the bleeding edge of Microsoft's AI developments, but keep in mind that these features may change or be removed at any time.
Finally, Copilot allows you to import and export your chat history, making it easy to switch between different AI services. You can access this feature by going to Copilot Settings > Memory > Add or import memory, and then paste in your chat history from other AI services.
