Microsoft introduces agentic AI experience for Copilot Plus PCs: What's new

Microsoft has announced that it will soon begin rolling out a range of new AI-powered features exclusive to Copilot+ PCs. In addition to expanding existing tools like Click to Do, the company is introducing entirely new abilities, including an agentic AI experience within the Settings app that can suggest and change device configurations on the user’s behalf. New features are also coming to Photos, Paint, Snipping Tool, and Narrator. These updates will begin rolling out to Windows Insiders in the coming months.

Microsoft has also launched its latest Surface devices—a 13-inch Surface Laptop and a 12-inch Surface Pro—both powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus chip. The devices are now available for pre-order in India and will go on sale from July 15.

Microsoft is introducing a new AI agent in the Settings app, designed to understand user intent and automate tasks. Users can describe their needs using natural language prompts like “how to control my PC by voice” or “my mouse pointer is too small,” and the AI will suggest steps to resolve the issue—or even carry them out directly, with user permission.

Initially, this experience will be available to Windows Insiders on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, with support for AMD and Intel versions coming later. The feature will only support English language inputs at launch.
