Windows Windows 11

Interesting new updates being developed for windows 11 -- in the article below, I think incorporating AI into file manager will be interesting (hopefully not cumbersome). A neat feature is summarizing a specific file without haviing to open it!

I can only hope, I have copilot at work and I only find it useful in Word.  Excel it tells me I need to put the data in a table.  Not following why copilot can't do this action for me.  Then when I manually put it into a table it tells me table the table is too big.  The meeting summary is ok.  If you show up late to a Teams meeting you can ask it to tell you what you missed so far, which is kind of nice.   The right mouse click summarize a document does sound like a nice feature, be nice if it works on Excel files with pivots.

that feature is pretty cool - I will have to look into that more-so. That is always the worst when spending 10 minutes trying to catch someone up on everything discussed because they were late (or alternatively, if I am the one late and dont have to bother the team if I can just read a quick summary!)

 

I am sure the file summary will be very much a beta feature for some time. However, whenever they get it functioning well, it will for sure be a pretty cool feature. I currently avoid all AI on excel, as you stated, it is totally bugged and takes more time going with its recommendations/fixing those steps rather than just doing it myself when needed! 

 

.... i am still only slightly leaning into chatgpt but getting to learn the benefits of such technology...not solely to rely 100 percent on it but to simply be more time efficient and produce higher quality products.

@mraw435 Have you tried Notebook LM.  It's my favorite way to listen to a white paper.  I put the above thread into the audio link below;

This is awesome! I have not tried this before and I am thoroughly interested/impressed! I am constantly tasked summarizing large quantities of information -- the greater focus on long-form research summaries rather than the chat-focused products I think is awesome. I will try this out more for sure

 

thanks for sharing!
