Currently, Windows 11 23493 is the only version where you can install and use the AI Copilot preview.
This early preview of Copilot AI comes with a limited feature, so you can only ask a few things to this chatbot. You are only allowed to ask some operative questions like Turn On/Off the Dark Mode, Enable/ Disable Do Not Disturb Mode, Take Screenshots, Summarize the Active Tabs of Edge, write a story, and make imaginary pictures.
