- Windows 11's new preview in the Beta channel introduces 'AI actions' for desktop folders, starting with image files.
- These AI actions provide shortcuts to change picture backgrounds, erase unwanted objects, and conduct Bing Visual Searches.
- Initially, these features only work with JPG and PNG files, but the compatibility is expected to expand over time.
- Microsoft plans to bring AI actions to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, including features like summarization and creating FAQs.
- Users will need a Microsoft 365 subscription and a Copilot subscription to access certain AI functionalities within Microsoft 365 apps.
- While Microsoft aims to enhance user experience with AI, some concerns arise about cluttering the interface for those who do not use these features.

- Windows 11's widgets panel has been updated to include Copilot AI-driven stories, which users can disable in settings.
