Making Copilot the most popular AI on Windows by unlocking its native potential
I believe Copilot has the potential to become the most popular and powerful AI on Windows — not just by answering general questions, but by becoming a truly device-aware assistant.
Copilot is already built into Windows and connected to Microsoft apps. So why not make it smart enough to understand your specific computer, your installed apps, and your Microsoft ecosystem?
Imagine being able to ask:
- “Can I run this game on my laptop?”
- “What’s the best photo editor for my Surface?”
- “Why is my Outlook calendar not syncing?”
- “Which apps are slowing down my system?”
And Copilot would answer instantly — no need to search Google or read through links. It would also help users navigate Microsoft 365 tools like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with built-in intelligent guidance tailored to their setup.
I call this concept Copilot Local Intelligence Mode — a feature that turns Copilot into a true digital companion, not just a chatbot.
It would:
- Understand your system specs and performance
- Recommend compatible apps from the https://apps.microsoft.com/
- Troubleshoot issues based on your actual device
- Support users with smart tips across https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or support for this idea. Let’s make Copilot the smartest part of Windows.

Great suggestions!
Tbh, I really like the idea of getting immediate status PC updates, regarding the state of my machine and OS, apps, etc - that is a really good idea, and its exactly the kind of progression that Copilot needs to be making onto devices.
One of the very first things I attempted to do when I installed Copilot on my Desktop, was have search for a file I had downloaded a while back - I had a fundamentally incorrect understanding of what Copilot for Windows was at the beginning. I assumed it was like our phones - so, I thought that we could now/then (still not yet) command our apps to open and save calendar dates and personal notes by just talking to Copilot. Stuff like that. When it couldn't open a notepad txt file, couldn't open Edge, it couldn't even send the feedback, that I was very forthcoming about, to its own developers, on its own at all - I was done with it for a bit. It was lacking many things.
Copilot is pretty awesome right now today tho - and I still can't really do any of the things I first wanted to originally. I've had to learn how to use Copilot - then I've had to adapt just to actually use Copilot. I'm not sure how many people are actually doing this - but all of us should try.
This is still the beginning of all this really.
Obviously Copilot ought to be able to control Windows and everything Windows can control - and that can also be said for the entire Xbox ecosystem - truly all things Microsoft are interconnected enough to expect integration.
Copilot will someday be capable of doing almost everything that a user can do in any of those environments - that needs to be the end goal. If I can open Notepad - I should be able to tell Copilot, and expect Copilot has the ability, to open Notepad, for example.
Just my additional 2 cents - and I second everything the OP mentioned!
