Hands on: Windows Copilot can't decide what it is

Windows Copilot is one part Bing, one part Windows. It's an assistant who can perform tasks for you one moment, but then pleads ignorance the next. Microsoft's AI assistant within Windows certainly has potential, but during my time with it, achieving a consistent experience was one of its unexpected challenges. Windows Copilot, the migration of Microsoft's AI-powered Bing Chat into Windows, debuted Thursday as part of the latest Windows Insider build for the Dev Channel; Microsoft announced Copilot at the end of May, with a promise to bring it into testing by the end of June. It's now here, though it hasn't reached its full potential yet.
