As I understand it, the data processed by AI Explorer is done on-device and not sent to the cloud, as the functionality of AI Explorer is capable of running offline. Of course, this feature will be something users can turn off if they don't like it, or have privacy concerns. An example of this includes looking at an image on a webpage or in an app, and having the AI Explorer interface suggest removing the background of the image on screen using an app such as Paint. For example, a user could type “find that picture of a dinosaur that Sarah sent me on WhatsApp” and the AI will be able to bring up the exact moment when that image was shared with you.ĪI Explorer is also able to analyze what's currently on-screen when opened, and offer suggestions based on what it sees. The user will be able to open AI Explorer to search for pretty much anything that they've done or seen on their computer. The AI is able to document and organize everything it sees on screen, including apps, sentences, webpages, documents, photos, videos, and more. It incorporates a UI that lets the user scroll back through all the things they've done on their computer over the last handful of days, filtered by the user's search criteria.

This feature enables the ability to turn everything you do on your computer into a searchable memory using natural language.

'AI Explorer' (internal name) is the big headlining feature for Windows 11 version 24H2 when it comes to next-gen AI experiences. But what exactly is Microsoft planning to unveil for Windows 11 in regard to new AI experiences on May 20? Here's what I know so far. So that's the order of things for Windows 11 over the summer, with lots of work still to do, and exciting announcements yet to come. September 2024: Windows 11 version 24H2 + new AI features releases to everyone.August 2024: Microsoft signs-off on day-one feature patch for version 24H2.July 2024: Microsoft finalizes feature set for Windows 11 version 24H2.June 2024: The first Arm-PCs with version 24H2 preloaded start shipping.May 2024: Microsoft holds Windows event to unveil new AI experiences.April 2024: Windows 11 version 24H2 reaches RTM milestone.

Here's a basic rundown of the Windows schedule for this year, as I understand it. The Arm PCs that shipped with version 24H2 will receive a cumulative update that enables all the additional AI features and experiences that were finalized over the summer. Once sign-off is complete in August, the Windows 11 version 24H2 release will be made available as an update for existing Windows 11 PCs in September 2024. I understand Microsoft intends to finalize and sign-off on these AI experiences and the overall feature set for Windows 11 version 24H2 in July and August. The Arm devices that ship with version 24H2 will be missing a number of the upcoming next-gen AI experiences that Microsoft is planning to unveil on May 20, until later in the year when the version 24H2 update is deemed ready for the masses.
