AI isn’t just a buzzword anymore. It’s changing the way we work, create, and stay connected. At the heart of all this? Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs, with the Surface Pro leading the charge. These devices aren’t just about looking pretty or running faster. They’re smart, almost like they’re reading your mind and fitting into your workflow before you even ask.

Adam, our Commercial Manager at CNS, recently wrote a 2-part series on the integration of CoPilot and MS Teams.

Let’s talk about some of the other aspects of AI that Microsoft has integrated into their Surface CoPilot+ PCs.

What sets Copilot+ PCs apart?

Copilot+ PCs are in a league of their own. Instead of just tacking on AI here and there, Microsoft built these with AI in their DNA. With Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series chips and powerful Neural Processing Units, we’re talking about machines that can handle up to 45 trillion operations every second. That means all the AI-powered features run right on your device, meaning no waiting for the cloud, and your data stays yours.

Microsoft says Copilot+ PCs are all about speed, long battery life, and real security. Features like Recall, Cocreator, and Windows Studio Effects are tuned for local performance, so your information doesn’t leave your Surface Pro. Everything moves quickly, and you don’t have to trade privacy for productivity.

AI features that actually make life easier

This isn’t just another list of new features. These are tools that make a difference. They’re baked right into Windows 11, so using your Surface Pro starts to feel less like managing a device and more like having a smart assistant by your side:

• Recall
• Cocreator & Restyle Image
• Live Captions with Translation
• Windows Studio Effects

Recall: find anything without remembering filenames

Recall is like having a photographic memory for your PC. Instead of digging through folders or trying to remember filenames, you can describe what you’re looking for. “That chart I saw last Tuesday” or “the presentation with the blue cover.” Recall uses contextual snapshots of your activity to instantly bring up the right file, webpage, or app. It’s a game-changer for anyone juggling multiple projects or working across different apps all day.

Cocreator & restyle image

Whether you’re brainstorming ideas or refining visuals, Cocreator and Restyle make creativity effortless. You draw out a rough sketch, and Cocreator can transform it into a polished illustration. Want a different style? Restyle Image can apply artistic filters or completely change the look of your design. All powered by on-device AI, not in the cloud. For marketing professionals, designers, and anyone who needs graphics fast, these tools turn inspiration into reality in seconds.

Live captions with translations

Global collaboration is easier than ever with Live Captions and Translation. Live Captions and Translation provide real-time captions for audio and video. It even translates spoken content into your preferred language. Whether you’re in an international meeting or watching video in another language, you can stay in the conversation. It’s great for inclusivity and making sure everyone stays connected.

Windows studio effects

Video calls are now smarter and more professional thanks to Windows Studio Effects. Features like auto-framing keep you in the center of the screen. It can also perform eye contact correction, making conversations feel natural. Window Studio Effects also has enhancements for lighting and clarity ensuring you always look polished.

So, why does this matter?

We’re moving past the old days when computers were just about number crunching. Now, it’s about making your device smart enough to understand what you actually want to do. The Surface Pro Copilot+ PC nails this. It looks great, it’s packed with AI that frees you up to focus on real work, and it just keeps up with whatever you throw at it—whether you’re a student, designer, or running a business.

The bottom line

AI doesn’t take over your creativity or your decision-making; it makes both stronger. With Copilot on Surface Pro, Microsoft didn’t just make a better PC. They built a platform that understands what you’re trying to do. This enables it to help you work faster, easier, and with less hassle. This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a look at where work and creativity are headed next.
