Key Takeaways

  • AI Explorer in Windows 11 version 24H2 could revolutionize how users interact with their devices.
  • Copilot's recent updates show progress, but it still lacks the wide-ranging system control needed.
  • AI Explorer's potential to create a seamless and universally compatible searchable timeline is a game changer.

Microsoft is set to release Windows 11 version 24H2 — the update that was previously expected to be called Windows 12 — later this year, and unsurprisingly, AI is a major focus. Not only has Copilot been Microsoft's focus for the better part of a year, but we also know a good bit about the upcoming update, including a feature called "AI Explorer", which has been reported on multiple times.

While we have yet to see this feature in action, the descriptions we've heard of this AI Explorer suggest this will be the AI implementation I've been waiting for. If the reports holds up, I believe this feature could change my mind about AI and how it could shape how we all use our devices.
