Using CoPilot to Launch Applications

Using CoPilot to Launch Applications

Copilot in Windows is an AI-powered assistant that helps you get answers and inspirations from across the web, supports creativity and collaboration, and helps you focus on the task at hand.  Microsoft CoPilot is included with Windows 11 and is activated on the Laptops for Learners' laptops and the most recent faculty and staff laptop rollout.  CoPilot is also accessible via mobile app on your mobile device via your app store.  This article assumes you have CoPilot installed and activated from Microsoft.  If you do not have it on your taskbar, click here.

Microsoft CoPilot has access to the applications you have installed on your computer -- and that means you can launch them from CoPilot without navigating Windows.  Here's how!

Here is how you do it!

• Open Microsoft CoPilot by clicking on the CoPilot icon or hold the Windows Key+C.
• CoPilot will open on the right side of the screen.
• Type in what you would like CoPilot to do -- such as: "launch Word" or "Open Microsoft Edge"
  
  
• Follow the prompts as they come on screen.
• CoPilot can access any application you have installed.
• If you do not have an application installed, it can sometimes help you install it, as well.
