<p>AI is becoming mainstream in the tech world, and Microsoft is fully embracing it. The company recently introduced a Copilot, an AI assistant integrated into Windows 11, that will soon be added to Office 365. Microsoft&#8217;s CEO, Satya Nadella, said that Copilot is more than a novelty; it is about to become the new Start button for Windows users.</p>

<p>Image credit: Microsoft.comSpeaking at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite X SoC launch, Nadella discussed the synergy between Qualcomm&#8217;s dedicated AI hardware and Windows Copilot. He sees this combination leading to innovative experiences on PCs, making it a Microsoft&#8217;s marketing strategy in the coming years. Intel&#8217;s upcoming CPUs, featuring Neural Processing Units (NPUs), will also follow this trend.</p>
<p>Copilot is already integrated with Bing, Edge, and Windows 11, thus becoming an important part of Microsoft&#8217;s ecosystem. Nadella also said that users will be replacing the traditional Start button routine with Copilot, stating, &#8220;I just go there and express my intent, and it either navigates me to an application or brings the application to Copilot.&#8221; This will revolutionize user habits by facilitating learning, querying, and content creation, Nadella said.</p>
<p>While some skeptics argue that Copilot may not replace the Start button completely, Nadella points out its potential usefulness in tasks like planning a vacation, where Copilot&#8217;s integration with email, document analysis, and more could prove highly beneficial. There&#8217;s also speculation that Windows 12 might even feature Copilot as a replacement for the iconic Start button, marking a significant change in the PC industry.</p>
<p>Though some doubt that Copilot will replace the Start button that has been around for ages now, the future remains uncertain. The full view of AI&#8217;s impact on PC experiences should be more clear with the release of Intel&#8217;s Meteor Lake and Snapdragon Elite X SoC. As AI technology evolves, Windows 12 is anticipated to flourish on these advancements, promising many transformative features that could completely change user interactions with their PCs.</p>
