Microsoft is making a big push in integrating AI into its apps and services. Recently, the company has added ChatGPT from OpenAI to Bing, Windows 11’s search bar, Edge browser, and also integrated Microsoft 365 Copilot into Office apps and services. Now as reported by Windows Latest, Microsoft intends to bring ChatGPT more accessible to users of Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs by integrating it into PowerToys.
PowerToys is an open-source tool used by Microsoft alongside external developers to give Windows the features and services it needs. It is currently being expanded to include ChatGPT, a tool that allows users to interact with AI right from the Windows 10 and Windows 11 desktop. The tool is being developed by an independent developer, Simone Franco, who is also responsible for creating WSATools which allows Windows 11 users to sideload Android apps on their PCs with ease.
Simone has also stated on his blog that PowerToys will bring ChatGPT to Windows, allowing users to ask questions and receive responses in the same way as they do on the ChatGPT website. This will make it much simpler for users to access the AI from their desktop without having to load the web page. It is still unknown when this will be released officially by Microsoft, but hopefully, it will not be too long before users can enjoy this feature.
