Microsoft has rolled out a new Windows 11 Insider build that adds an optional "experimental agentic features" toggle. The update enables Copilot Actions, an AI‑driven assistant that can handle tasks such as file organization, meeting scheduling, and email composition. While the feature aims to boost productivity, Microsoft acknowledges novel security risks and has built safeguards, including separate user accounts for agents, mandatory user approvals, activity logs, and observable actions. The feature is currently disabled by default and limited to early test builds. Leer más →

Microsoft is experimenting with two new artificial‑intelligence capabilities inside the Windows Paint app. The "Animate" feature lets users turn a static image or sketch into a short animation without needing a prompt, while the "Generative Edit" tool applies complex edits through a simple text query. Both functions are being trialed through the Windows AI Labs program, available only to select Windows Insider testers. Early demonstrations show promising results but also occasional oddities, highlighting the experimental nature of the tools. The additions signal a broader shift toward richer AI integration across Microsoft’s default Windows apps. Leer más →

Microsoft is testing a suite of new AI-driven capabilities for Windows 11 through its Insider program. The updates include Copilot taking over the taskbar search area, answering plain‑language questions about system settings, and linking to the appropriate Settings pages. Additional features such as Copilot Connectors, document‑creation shortcuts, File Explorer AI actions, and Vision‑enabled document scanning are being trialed. While none of the changes are yet part of the publicly released Windows 11 25H2 update, the company appears to be applying lessons learned from earlier rollout challenges. Leer más →

Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant is expanding beyond the Microsoft ecosystem, now able to link with Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Outlook and OneDrive after users opt‑in. The integration lets users query personal data across these services with a single prompt, such as asking for an email address or locating recent notes. A new native export feature also lets Copilot turn longer responses—those over 600 characters—into Word, Excel, PowerPoint or PDF files with one click. The update is currently rolling out to Windows Insiders via the Microsoft Store and is slated for broader release after testing. Leer más →
