Microsoft (MSFT) is bringing major updates to its Copilot artificial intelligence platform for Windows, expanding the software's capabilities with a number of new features, and introducing the ability to speak directly to the AI helper.

The announcements, which the company made at a press event at its Microsoft Experience Center in New York on Tuesday, also include a context-aware Click to Do option that provides you with tools and actions to complete tasks related to what you see on your screen, a refreshed version of Windows Search, the ability to upscale your old photos to up to 8K resolution, and an AI-powered edit tool for erasing or adding objects to your images.

The company also said it's working on a feature called Copilot Vision, which is able to view your Edge browser screen and understand questions you ask about what you're looking at.

All of these options come as Microsoft continues its AI push on both the consumer and enterprise sides of its business. The company launched its first wave of Copilot+ PCs in May, including its own Surface line of laptops and devices from partner companies including Dell, HP, and Lenovo.

Shares of Microsoft were off more than 1% on the day, in line with Tuesday's broader market trend.

In addition to its announcements on Tuesday, Microsoft also said it's preparing to roll out its previously delayed Recall feature for Windows 11. Recall is designed to capture screenshots of what you're doing on your computer, providing you with a kind of continuously updated visual library of the apps you've used and websites you've visited.

Security researchers, however, objected to the app saying hackers could exploit it to steal user information. Microsoft has since updated the offering, saying it's improved its overall security and made it an opt-in service.

The new Click to Do feature provides you with a context-aware set of options to complete tasks for what you're looking at on your screen. Press the Windows key, and then click the mouse, and you'll get a pop-up toolbox that will let you do things like remove or blur the background in a photo or perform a visual search using Bing. Microsoft says the feature will also work with text, helping you to rewrite or summarize what you've written.

The improved Windows Search feature now allows you to search for files and photos using descriptions of what they may include rather than their actual names. So, if you're looking for a file about an article you've written about new Microsoft features, you can search using something like "new Microsoft updates" and Search should pull up the right file.
