Microsoft has begun testing its AI agent within the Windows 11 Settings app, a feature first announced last month. The AI-powered tool enables users to describe their needs in natural language—such as "my mouse pointer is too small"—and receive suggestions or even automated fixes with user permission.
Key Details:
- Availability: Currently rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev Channel, but limited to Snapdragon-based Copilot Plus PCs for now.
- Functionality: The AI agent can diagnose issues, provide solutions, and execute fixes (e.g., adjusting pointer size) if approved by the user.
- Expansion: Microsoft has not confirmed a broader release timeline but is likely to expand to other hardware configurations based on feedback.
This move aligns with Microsoft's broader push to integrate AI-driven assistance across its ecosystem, following the launch of Copilot and other AI features. For more details, check Microsoft's official blog post.
