From PC to Home Window: AI as Data Surgeon
Hello Copilot Community, I’d like to share a vision for the future of AI in Windows and beyond: evolving from a reactive assistant into a Data Surgeon — diagnosing, repairing, and reconstructing the lifeblood of modern life: data. 🩺 Diagnose Scan for corruption in files, registries, and hardware sectors Detect anomalies with machine learning and predict failures before they happen 🛠 Repair Auto-heal OS inconsistencies, registry errors, and driver mismatches Reconstruct corrupted files using backups, metadata, and contextual inference 🧬 Reconstruct Repopulate missing data from previous versions and cloud syncs Fill gaps in documents, databases, or media with AI-driven interpolation 🧑⚕️ Prescribe & Prevent Recommend preventive actions: backup schedules, hardware upgrades, cooling solutions Provide digital wellness reports — like a health checkup for your PC 🛤 Roadmap Toward the “Home Window” 2025–2027: AI-assisted diagnostics and repair tools 2027–2030: Household integration and predictive maintenance — the “Home Window Baby” stage 2030–2035: Cross-domain AI collaboration (social media, banking, utilities) 2035–2040: Fully fledged “Home Window” — essential for every modern home Discussion Prompt: How do you see Copilot evolving into this role? What technical milestones or safeguards would be essential? Could this align with Microsoft’s roadmap for Copilot in Windows and household AI?Copilot’s Temporary Chat
A temporary chat with Microsoft 365 Copilot is one that forgets everything discussed in the conversation once the chat is over. The idea is that by leaving no trace, Copilot won’t recycle the ideas discussed in the chat later. Copilot absolutely discards the chat thread, but those pesky compliance records remain behind, ready for eDiscovery and other compliance investigations. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/14/temporary-chat-copilot/
Workflows and App Builder Agents
Hey everyone, I have recently started using the Workflows and App Builder Agents, which are currently in preview through the Frontier programme and I would like to know your opinions on these tools as well. From my side, Workflows: didn't work once for me, most of the time, the flow is correctly generated, and connections are established but the flow fails to save. when it did save (that two times), it couldn't use the Outlook getEmails actions to pull information and errored out we don't have any DLP policies to block its use, so I don't understand why nothing is working here. last, it's no possible to edit the flow, which is not a great experience especially when trying to figure out what went wrong. App Builder: users need the permission to create a fresh sharepoint site for each app, this is a horrible experience for admin, as there could be hundreds new sites as users play around with the agent, why not allow users to pick an already established site, as all it does is create a list to store the information in? it's not possible to edit the app manually, so you're stuck talking to the agent for a long time to make changes that would take seconds in the PowerApps editor. when making changes through the editor, you can ask the agent to change a single thing in the app, then it 'kinda' understand and changes the entire thing either way, adding to the frustration. So all-in-all, both agents are a great concept, but they are still waaaay behind in what they promise.Auditing Claude Usage with the Copilot Researcher Agent
The question was asked if it was possible to identify use of the Claude LLM by the Copilot Researcher Agent. Audit records often help, so that’s the natural location to check. As it turns out, some information is captured when the Researcher agent is used but figuring out if the agent uses the default ChatGPT-5 or Claude LLMs is a matter of intuition (or guesswork). https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/12/audit-claude-use-researcher-agent/Top Holiday Productivity Hacks with Microsoft Copilot | Boost Your Workflow This Season
