Windows 11 Rolls Out New AI-Powered Features: 4 Exciting Tools You Can Try Now

Microsoft is doubling down on artificial intelligence in its latest Windows 11 update—specifically for its new Copilot+ PCs. With AI now baked deeper into the operating system, users can look forward to smarter, faster, and more intuitive workflows.

Whether you're a creator, student, or productivity pro, here are four AI-powered tools rolling out with the latest Windows 11 update that you should try today.

AI Settings Agent: Smarter Personalization

Managing your settings just got a whole lot easier. The AI Settings Agent acts like your intelligent assistant, helping you find and adjust settings with simple language input. Want to dim your display, tweak notifications, or switch accessibility features? Just ask Copilot.

How to use it:

Open Copilot in the taskbar and type a natural language request like, “Turn on dark mode,” or “Lower brightness to 50%.” No more digging through layered menus.

Photos “Relight” Editor: AI Photo Enhancements in One Click

Built right into the Windows Photos app, Relight uses AI to adjust lighting in your portraits, balancing shadows and highlights as if you used professional equipment. It’s perfect for selfies taken in dim rooms or photos where the background is overexposed.

How to use it:

Open a photo in the Photos app, click Edit > Relight, and let the AI do the magic. You can manually adjust light sources for custom effects.

Click-to-Do: Your Tasks, Streamlined

AI now works hand-in-hand with your calendar, email, and notifications. Click-to-Do extracts action items from messages and lets you create tasks or reminders in just a click.

How to use it:

When Copilot detects a task (like “Review the Q3 report” from an email), it offers a “Create task” button. Click it to add directly to Microsoft To Do or Outlook.

✂️ AI Snipping Tool Upgrades: Smarter Screenshots

The Snipping Tool now includes AI-powered text extraction and redaction features, ideal for both casual and professional users. You can copy text from screenshots or instantly blur out sensitive information—without needing third-party software.

How to use it:

Open Snipping Tool > Take Screenshot, then click the “Text Actions” tab to extract or redact content.

Conclusion: With these new features, Microsoft is making it clear that AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s becoming essential to the Windows experience. From productivity to creativity, these tools are already changing how we interact with our PCs.

If you’ve got a Copilot+ PC, there’s never been a better time to explore what Windows 11’s AI can do.
