Microsoft gives Copilot access to local files and OS actions

Why it matters for readers: It shows how AI can combine local files and cloud models to do real work on your PC.
- Microsoft will let Copilot access local files and perform actions across Windows using a Hybrid Intelligence mix of local and cloud models.1
- An Autopilot demo showed the agent searching folders, renaming files, zipping them, and drafting an email for an accountant request.1
- Microsoft said Hybrid Intelligence–powered Copilot features will arrive over the 'next couple months.'1
- A new Windows search experience will let users take quick actions (like toggling dark mode or adjusting mic volume) from the search bar and will be available starting this fall on Windows 11 PCs.1
