With this Windows 11 beta build, Copilot+ PCs might finally be helpful.

Although Copilot+ didn't really take off as much as the firm might have desired, it felt like an attempt by Microsoft to provide AI tools to the general public. Microsoft is still working to improve Copilot+ devices, though. Right now, the business is developing a new feature that might persuade me that Copilot+ is worth purchasing a Snapdragon chip for.Microsoft explains what testers may anticipate from the latest Beta build in a post on the Windows Insider Blog.
A new context-based search engine that looks for files and images by their description rather than their file name is the feature that is being promoted. When you can recall the appearance of an image but forget the file name, this is quite helpful:This capability will also be available for photos stored on your OneDrive cloud storage account. Ideally, all you have to do is describe the image you're looking for, and the search tool will search both locally and on the cloud for it. It should reduce the aggravation of trying to identify that one strangely titled file that you can't seem to find if it functions properly.Thankfully, there have been more successes than failures with Microsoft's new Copilot+ capabilities. For instance, I thought it was great when the business gave Copilot+ PCs live captioning and translations, as AI should always prioritize accessibility. Hopefully, this new context search performs as well as Microsoft says it would.
