Key notes

  • Microsoft’s “Draft with Copilot” AI feature is expanding in Windows 11 apps, now appearing in Edge.
  • The feature helps generate text when right-clicking on an empty editable text field.
  • It saves time by creating grammatically correct text, especially useful for non-native language users.
Draft with Copilot

Draft with Copilot is one of Microsoft’s AI capabilities that maybe some of you have started seeing in a lot of Windows 11’s desktop apps. Edge, the popular browser, has already seen this feature for quite some time.

But now, Microsoft seems to expand this feature even further. A recent spot by @Leopeva64, a trusted browser enthusiast on X, reveals a “Draft with Copilot” option when you right-click on an empty editable text field. The option, however, does not seem to show up when the field already has text in it.

It does seem like a trivial change, for sure, but if anything, it sure helps you a lot if you’re ever stuck during a creative process. Then, in an almost similar fashion to the ‘Help Me Write‘ feature on Google Chrome, you see a prompt box where you can fill in the ideas that you have in mind.

“You can use Copilot to quickly generate well-written text to use as input text in text boxes in canvas apps. Using Copilot saves time because you wonโ€™t have to worry about creating text that meets grammar rules. Copilot is especially helpful for users who are using apps that arenโ€™t in their native language,” Microsoft describes the feature.

Microsoft is betting big on AI. There’s no secret about that. The Redmond tech giant has been revamping Copilot, its AI-powered assistant, in almost every aspect. It’s been a year since the tool’s launch, and with that in mind, it seems like we’re in for yet another year of AI race.
