Microsoft has started rolling out a new version of the Copilot app (version 1.25082.132.0 ) to testers in the Windows Insider Program. The update includes two major new AI-powered features.
The first big feature is called semantic file search, which allows you to search for files in Windows 11 using natural language instead of matching exact file names or keywords. For example, you can search “find my CV” to locate your résumé documents or “find images of bridges at sunset on my PC” to locate photos that fit that description.
With semantic file search in Windows 11, you’ll be able to control which files and folders are accessible to Copilot via settings. Note that semantic file search will only be available to Copilot+ PCs, meaning laptops that have cutting-edge NPUs.
The other new feature in the update is the new look and feel of the Copilot home page, which brings together your latest apps, files, and conversations directly in the app. The rollout of the news will be done gradually via Microsoft Store to all Insider channels.
