Microsoft is rolling out a Copilot for Windows update that links to Gmail, Google Drive, and other personal accounts, and adds built-in document export from chat. The company outlined the features in a Windows Insider blog post.

The release turns Copilot into more of a system-wide assistant, letting you search across connected services in plain language and turn responses into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files without leaving the chat pane.

New features in Copilot on Windows

The new connectors let you link cloud storage, email, and calendars so Copilot can pull what you ask for wherever it lives. You can use prompts like “what’s Sarah’s email address?” or “find my notes from last week,” and Copilot will look across your connected accounts to surface results. Connections are opt‑in and can be enabled in Copilot’s settings under the Connectors section.

Document creation and export

Copilot can now generate and export files directly from a chat. Ask it to produce a document or table and send the result to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF. When a response exceeds 600 characters, an Export button appears by default to streamline saving in one of those formats.

Integration with Microsoft 365 apps

The update ties into broader Microsoft 365 changes. In Outlook, you can see summaries of Word, PowerPoint, and PDF attachments directly in the reading pane. Copilot Chat is being added to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, with a sidebar in classic Outlook that brings chat into the context of what you’re reading or writing.

Availability and rollout

The new features are available to Windows Insiders via the Microsoft Store as version 1.25095.161.0 and above. Rollout is gradual, so not everyone in Insider channels will see the update immediately.

Security and privacy

Account connectors are off by default. You choose which services to link and manage them in Copilot’s Connectors settings.

As the update expands, how reliably Copilot respects permissions and handles complex files will be key to its usefulness on Windows.
