Microsoft Adds Streaming To Notepad Copilot Experience

Microsoft is rolling out streaming support for Copilot in Notepad, allowing AI-generated text to appear progressively rather than as a final block. The feature arrives initially on local Copilot+ PCs, with Microsoft saying it will expand to regular Windows PCs later; Notepad's Copilot offers rewrite, summarise and tone adjustments and can be disabled in Settings. The change aims to make responses feel more natural, especially in voice mode.
Key Points
- 1Adds streaming support for Copilot Rewrite in Notepad, initially limited to local Copilot+ PCs.
- 2Improves user experience by rendering AI outputs progressively, making interactions feel more natural, especially in voice mode.
- 3Requires Copilot+ hardware now but Microsoft plans broader rollout; admins can disable Copilot in Notepad settings.
Scoring Rationale
Official Microsoft feature update improves user experience but is limited initially to Copilot+ hardware, constraining near-term reach.
