Microsoft tests a Windows 11 taskbar feature that lets AI see your open apps when you share window

Microsoft is testing a new Windows 11 taskbar feature that allows AI to access your open apps when you share a window. This feature, called "Share any window from my taskbar with virtual assistant," enables supported apps like Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot to directly access selected windows from the taskbar interface. The goal is to streamline the process of sharing app windows with AI assistants without manual screen sharing. This aligns with Microsoft's broader plan to make Windows an Agentic OS, with the taskbar becoming a dynamic hub for AI. The feature is part of Microsoft's efforts to enhance the taskbar's functionality in the AI era, allowing users to choose which virtual assistant apps can request access to open windows.
