As far as demos go, the ChatGPT-4o walkthrough of how to play Minecraft is pretty impressive. As a lifelong gamer, its the kind of use case that makes sense for real people.
Copilot is going to be integrated into Windows 11 Settings, Notifications, and other systems.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o is going to be fully integrated into Windows, letting ChatGPT-4o help you navigate Minecraft if you’ve never played the game, kind of like an interactive walkthrough.
We’re talking about a new system architecture running at 40+ trillion operations per second, 58% faster than the MacBook Air with M3, according to Mehdi.
Yusuf Medhi is taking the stage to tell us about the new category of PC platform.
Copilot + PC is the new platform Microsoft is introducing, though we don’t know a whole lot yet. This is absolutely about integrating AI into the entire Windows platform, not just a tool slapped like a barnacle on the side of a non-AI operating system.
We’re starting with Copilot.
We’re underway now as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella takes the stage.

Here we go, folks! This is John, live from Microsoft’s Redmond campus in Washington state, where the venerable tech giant is holding a special event ahead of its annual Microsoft Build conference. We’re all expecting some exciting stuff from the event, so stay tuned as I bring you everything I see and hear over the next hour.
