    My understanding from a very brief skim of what Microsoft was doing with Copilot is to take screenshots constantly, run image recognition on it, and then make it searchable as text and have the ability to go back and view those screenshots in a timeline. Basically, adding more search without requiring application-level support.

    They may also have other things that they want to do, but that was at least one.

    EDIT: They specifically called that feature “Recall”, and it was apparently the “flagship” feature of Copilot.

      Do you mean Copilot, the local indexer and search tool or do you mean Copilot the web based AI chat bot or do you mean Copilot the rebranded Office suite or do you mean … etc.

      Seriously, talk about watering down a brand name. Microsoft marketing team are all massive, massive fuck knuckles.

        Hey, the last one is great.

        Now when I get asked “what do you think about Copilot,” I can just say, “I prefer LibreOffice”
