- Copilot is testing a new AI feature called 'PC Insights' to analyze system resource usage, storage, and performance issues.
- The optional PC Insights feature can access CPU, RAM, GPU usage, storage capacity, connected devices, network info, battery health, and antivirus status, but not file contents without permission.
- Copilot uses this data to answer questions contextually, like checking free storage for game installations, and aims to simplify tasks compared to using Task Manager or Settings.
- Microsoft claims Copilot only accesses system information with user permission and does not use personal files or system data to train AI models.
- Despite its utility, Copilot itself is resource-intensive, using up to 1GB of RAM, as it now includes a private Microsoft Edge instance as a web app.
