📰 Breaking News: DeepSeek AI’s Stock Market Shock—Innovation or Risk?

Big move from Microsoft — Copilot is now baked straight into Windows 11.
Not as an app. Not as a plugin.
As in, press a button and your PC suddenly starts thinking with you.

Here’s what’s wild about it:
There’s a Copilot key now. Tap it and boom — your AI assistant launches anywhere.
It sees what’s on your screen and helps in real time. Need to edit an image, summarize a doc, or find that buried setting from 2018? Just ask.
It listens, it talks, it acts. You can literally say, “Hey Copilot, fix this,” and it’ll do the thing.

And it’s not stopping there — Copilot now helps with Office, Edge, Outlook, and beyond. This is Microsoft’s “AI everywhere” moment.

Starting January 2026, WhatsApp is banning general-purpose AI chatbots from its Business API.
