Co-Pilot Widget for Desktop idea

So I know that this will probably not get anywhere, but if I didn't put the idea out there it definitely wouldn't go anywhere.

My Idea was very simple, take the co-pilot search bar, and give it a widget form for a user's desktop. I imagine it like the google search widget we all have on our androids, but for the desktop. Allow the user to have access to co-pilot without having to access to application.

I envision it being just a co-pilot simple with a bubble-like search bar, and when you start your convo, the responses come above or below it in the form of text bubbles, as though you are texting on a phone.

I don't know how far this idea will go, but I do think it is a smart one that allows users to incorporate co-pilot as though it is more a part of their computer then just an application. Not only that, I don't think it would be that difficult to code that type of a widget, and I don't know about you, but i would never open the application again if that was the case, and I would use co-pilot 10x more often.

Thoughts on this idea? How easy would this program be to develop? How would you like this type of a widget to be for your computer?

Hello,

it's a good idea and it's already being implemented. :-) For personal accounts, there's a Copilot app already, which you can open with desktop-like experience (it's a PWA though, not a native app). Overall, that's the way Microsoft is going already - to prepare an agent as a personal assistant tied to your desktop. But it's not a simple idea and there's a lot to consider, like how to integrate with the operating system, how to keep the privacy, how to make it reliable etc. It's just to early for that kind of project to be live, but definitely that's the future I guess. :-)

In case of any other questions, let me know. If the answer helped you, mark it, so that others can benefit from it.

Best regards,

Artur Stepniak
