Microsoft’s Copilot Vision can now see your entire desktop – but it probably won't judge you for the clutter

Microsoft just rolled out a major update to its Copilot AI, letting it "see" everything on your desktop—files, apps, even that chaotic pile of unsorted screenshots. While the idea of an AI scanning your workspace might sound intrusive, Microsoft insists Copilot won’t judge your mess (or your meme collection). Instead, it’ll use this access to offer more context-aware help, like summarizing documents or troubleshooting errors.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another tech gimmick—it’s a big step toward AI assistants that actually understand what you’re working on in real time. Sure, the privacy implications will raise eyebrows (and rightly so), but if done right, this could make Copilot way more useful for tasks like coding, research, or wrangling spreadsheets. The catch? You’ll have to trust Microsoft with a lot more of your digital life.
