Microsoft has announced its plans to integrate ChatGPT, one of the most advanced language models, into Windows 10 and 11 via PowerToys, its open-source tool. The integration will allow users to interact with the language model in natural language, including asking questions and receiving responses. This move comes after the recent announcement of the taskbar search bar for Windows 11, powered by Bing AI and an updated version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The integration aims to offer a new chat experience to users while reinventing search with AI. In this article, we will explore Microsoft’s plan to integrate ChatGPT into Windows and its implications.
Microsoft’s Integration of ChatGPT into Windows OS
Microsoft’s PowerToys is an open-source tool that has been around for over three years, and it has become powerful after recent updates with features like Registry Preview. The company is now planning to integrate ChatGPT, one of the most advanced language models, into Windows 10 and 11 via PowerToys.
According to reports, the updated PowerToys tool comes with a feature called “PowerToys Run” that gives users access to the ChatGPT model. This feature lets users interact with the language model in various ways, including asking questions and receiving responses in natural language. The integration basically lets users ask the AI questions directly from the desktop.
