Windows 11 Settings are Getting Smarter with a Built-In AI Agent
Have you ever gone searching through your Windows 11 Settings app, clicking through menu after menu, just to make one small change?
It’s frustrating, isn’t it?
You know the option is in there somewhere… but where?
Microsoft is working on making that experience much easier in the Windows 11 settings with a brand-new feature: an AI Agent built directly into the Settings app.
A Smarter Way to Manage Your Windows 11 Settings
No More Guesswork
This isn’t a separate chatbot like Copilot. It’s built right into the search box inside Settings.
You no longer need to remember the exact name of a setting.
Instead, you can type what you want in plain language. Try something simple like “make the screen brighter” or “turn on voice control,” and the AI will find the right option or even make the change for you.
Fast and Local
What makes this feature even smarter is how it works. Everything happens locally on your device, so your requests never leave your computer.
The AI runs on a small, fast language model built into Windows itself. That means instant responses without relying on the cloud or sending data anywhere else.
Microsoft has also fine-tuned it to focus on the settings people use most often, so you spend less time scrolling through irrelevant results.
Why This Matters for Businesses
Saving Time and Reducing Frustration
This might sound like a small improvement, but think about how often your team wastes time trying to change a setting or troubleshoot a simple issue.
Instead of waiting for IT support or searching online for a solution, they can now ask the AI Agent in plain English and get help straight away.
That means fewer interruptions, less downtime, and a team that feels more confident using their devices.
Boosting Productivity Across Your Organisation
Every minute saved adds up. When employees can handle small fixes themselves, your IT team is free to focus on larger, more strategic projects.
This not only improves productivity but also creates a smoother day-to-day experience for everyone.
How to Try It Out
This new AI feature is currently being tested for Copilot+ PCs through the Windows Insider Program.
It’s an exciting glimpse into where Windows is heading next. Microsoft’s goal is clear: to make technology easier, faster, and more intuitive for everyone.
