At a special event in New York City on Thursday, Microsoft rolled out updates to its software and Surface hardware. I suppose some people are looking forward to the new Surface Laptop Go 3 or the Surface Laptop Studio 2, but I don't think either is anywhere near the most interesting thing Microsoft talked about.

That's because, during the keynote, Microsoft announced that it has released its AI-powered assistant, known as Copilot, to general availability. If you remember, Microsoft announced Copilot back in March.
