- The new preview of Windows 11 in beta channel introduces ‘AI Action’
- These are working to set fire to AI capabilities within desktop folders
- Initially only a small number of facilities are available, they are all related to image files – but more AIs are in the pipeline for testing testing.
Windows 11 AI is receiving another infusion of AI and this time it is coming directly to file an explorer, the app that allows you Look and work with files and folders on your PC,
Microsoft introduced This is a step in the beta channel with Windows 11’s new preview build (26120.4151).
The file explorer is getting a new option for ‘AI verbs’ in its reference-sensitive right-click menu. This means that when you right-click on a file, you will find additional reference-based options to work with AI capabilities. To start – and remember, it is still in the test – there are four actions that are related to image files.
Two of them are working to change the background of a picture. One allows you to blur the background in the photo app, and the other removes the background completely – cutting the foreground subject – in the paint app.
The idea is that if you have an image file that requires this attention, you can simply right-click and order the work done in the folder (app and work with Windows 11 can firing from there).
The other two AI actions for images facilitates erase an object (something that does not want on the picture) in photos, and you can also order Bing Visual search (through an image search on the web MicrosoftBing engine).
To start, these actions only work with JPG and PNG files, but that selection will be expanded in time (although most people use JPGS in the main, anyway).
Microsoft also promises that AI actions for the choice of Word, Excel and PowerPoint files will soon be rolled out (in test). This will include an alternative to receiving the Copilot to summarize any Microsoft 365 file, boiling the content of a document into a precis, something that is something that you can get well, but there is a trick that can be new to you here: Creating a FAQ.
This enlists Co -pilot To convert an ondrive file into “very neatly formatted, AI-borne Question List” which can be useful for some people. This functionality has been for some time, however, but it will definitely be new to Quickfire AI functions.
Microsoft 365 catches with these capabilities that you need a subscription not only for that online suit, but also a copillot subscription (through your microsoft account). This is because you need to unlock Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps in which AI is available.
In terms of making FAQ, this functionality will only be for business users in the beginning, although Microsoft notes: “Consumer support with Microsoft account is coming later.”
Analysis: More AI Shocker
It is not surprising to see Microsoft carrying forward more AI functionality in Windows 11. It is not only an important driver for OS, but also for Copilot+ PCS that bets on Microsoft – those devices have exclusive AI powers, and more way the company can give users to reach them, better.
Or at least the way Microsoft will see it. The logic against it continued AI’s slow infiltration in Windows 11 This is that if you do not use any of this items, it is just making the interface a little more disorganized. In this case, the new AI Action Options (which was) Earlier was detected Build in preview Some time ago) The right-click reference-sensitive menu with files has an additional line, and some people may not want it and feel that it is a waste of that (has been accepted) a small part of the space.
Expect it more in the future, and in fact this preview construction is another minor piece of AI crawling elsewhere. It is in the widget panel, which has seen its feed reorganized, and Copilot AI is now pipeing some stories in that feed. This file is more rear view change than interface Twiks with explorer, however, on top, if you do not like the new system (called ‘Copilot Discover’), you can close it in ‘privatization MSN’ settings for the widget board.
