Microsoft has officially announced the expansion of Copilot Vision with a “Highlights” feature to Windows, providing an advanced usage experience.

The Redmond, Washington-based tech giant revealed that the new artificial intelligence (AI) feature will only be available in the US, but the company plans to bring it to other regions soon.

It uses computer vision and tool use to analyse the content on the user's screen and assist them with queries. Copilot Vision was first unveiled by Microsoft in December 2024, and in April, it was integrated into the Microsoft Edge browser.

Copilot Vision on Windows receives a new update
