Copilot Vision sort of replaces the kinds of how-to articles, TikToks, and short videos you turn to when you need help. Basically, it "looks over your shoulder" at your PC's screen when you (orally) ask it a question, and it walks you through what you need to do.
Copilot Vision debuted at Microsoft's 50th anniversary party at its headquarters in Redmond, and later was released into Microsoft's Insider channels, where I was able to go hands-on with Copilot Vision, with middling success. With certain applications, like Photoshop, the app was able to direct me to a specific menu and commands when I needed help editing a photo. But it completely fumbled the ball with basic recognition on apps like Microsoft's venerable Solitaire.
Now, Microsoft is promising that Copilot Vision is more fully baked. Two things have improved since I tested it: First, it can visually highlight what you need to click or do, making it easier to find that command or shortcut. Second, you can now use it in two different applications at once.
