Microsofts Copilot is coming for your File Explorer

You thought File Explorer was safe from AI? You were wrong.

Windows hacker/leaker @phantomofearth (via Windows Central) recently noticed that Microsoft is testing adding Microsoft's AI assistant, Copilot, to Windows File Explorer.

Discovered in a preview build of Windows 11, an invisible button lodged in the File Explorer will (likely) allow you to "Chat with Copilot."

We don't know how the button will be used, exactly, but it's likely to allow users to get Copilot's help on a document they've selected in File Explorer.
