Automate any task on your Computer with Copilot
AI Summary
This video introduces a powerful new feature in Microsoft Power Automate using Copilot that allows users to automate tasks on their computer simply by recording their screen and verbally explaining what they want automated. Unlike traditional automation tools that require connecting APIs or complex configurations, this method builds the automation flow by understanding the user’s speech and screen activity directly on the computer. The demonstrator walks through using the “Record with Copilot” option to automate filling out a Google Forms survey using data from an Excel sheet. After recording instructions like opening files, navigating URLs, and populating form fields with Excel data, Copilot generates the automation script. The user can confirm UI elements easily, then run the automated workflow which runs entirely on the local machine, without needing cloud hosting or coding. The video highlights the seamless, code-free automation experience made possible by Power Automate and Copilot, ideal for Windows 11 users or those who install Power Automate Desktop on Windows 10. The creator offers to provide additional content and tutorials around this innovative tool.
