Yeah, I'm like, this is not how this is supposed to work.

It's supposed to be the opposite of this.

True.

In fact, at Ignite, we're actually talking about writing assistance on Windows as well, where we have the M365 writing assistance capabilities on these devices on Windows.

But I love your note on, can we also take some of the drudgery out with file and formatting?

I love it.

We have a couple of capabilities that are in Copilot Labs and Windows Insiders right now.

We call that feature Copilot Highlights, where you can choose to share your screen with Copilot and Copilot uses an understanding of your interaction with Copilot and can highlight content on the screen to help you find hidden menus, find new features.

So I'm going to send you a link after this and you should tell us what you think.

It's a start, but we're getting great signal, quite frankly, for the exact reason you mentioned.

Yes, exactly.

Assistance for troubleshooting, assistance for in-workflow tasks and activities, and assistance for how to use your own computer are among the big signals we see in terms of queries and co-pilot.

And we as a Windows team are very much down the path of how can we take advantage of AI to simplify these workflows, make it more accessible for users, reduce friction.

For the exact reason you described, we have a very broad user base in Windows.

There's a set of customers who can really get super charged with these capabilities when it comes naturally in their workflow.

Accessibility is a central tenant in how we think about Windows design and how we think about our features as we ship and build them for the breadth of our user base.

In fact, we're also thinking about places where accessibility can be enriched with AI capabilities, both in terms of voice interaction pieces.

One of the beautiful things with AI, like you mentioned, is being able to understand screen content.

And so that example of sharing for navigating complex file systems or file

menus in an app is one, but just being able to understand screen content for a user who could benefit from accessibility guidance where they're not navigating through complex UI that was not really built for that use case is another great example where we're trying to have narrator in Windows, for example,
