Microsoft is testing integrating Copilot into Windows 11's File Explorer, potentially in a sidebar or Details/Preview-pane interface, rather than as a separate app. Currently, Copilot is accessible via the right-click menu in File Explorer, but the new integration could offer a more seamless experience. References in Windows 11 preview builds suggest a "Chat with Copilot" feature within File Explorer. While Microsoft has not confirmed this officially, the integration could roll out in the coming months. Despite efforts to promote Copilot, its market share remains low compared to competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini.
