Microsoft adds AI button to keyboards to call up chatbot

Copilot — which can perform various tasks, such as summarising text and virtual meetings — works across Microsoft's web and productivity apps

Microsoft is already a big investor in AI.

Microsoft said it is adding a button to its Windows keyboard that would pull up the tech giant's Copilot artificial intelligence service, in the first change for the device in nearly three decades.

The "Copilot key", announced on Thursday, marks the latest effort by the company, which is investing billions in AI, to incorporate the technology in its products.
