Microsoft's Copilot AI can now analyze your personal files

Microsoft appears to have pushed the ability to upload documents, screenshots, and images to Windows 11's Copilot AI assistant, allowing you to ask it to make sense of documents stored on your PC. Being able to "query" a document is a subtly powerful capability that you may have never taken advantage of. Unfortunately, this new capability may suffer from the same problem that other LLMs might struggle with: persistence. "Querying" a document means asking Copilot questions about it. "What next steps should I take?" Ideally, Copilot should be able to take an involved, complex document like a contract and allow the average user (you and I) to make sense of it all.
