copilot Making co-pilot on the PC useful

[stevember]

At the moment co-pilot on the PC is barely any use and I always jump into an actual app or online to use AI.

However, there is one use that would be really helpful is that every time you called it it would stay in the same chat conversation. I know this can be done by going to the same conversation and continuing.

Hear me out.

You are sat in front of the computer, just before you start your day you open up the co-pilot with your voice and offload what you need to do how you are feeling and it knows about your calendar and it has a bit of memory about you. An hour later, you call upon co-pilot explaining the you need to do something before the meeting later and could it just quickly research something, and suggest something to do next as you've got 10 minutes. Then you come back to it and asking it to update you on what you've got done what you need to do, and is there anything new in the emails that is urgent.

It would be different for everybody but the main idea is that it would have a comprehensive outline of your day rather than a vague memory that you have a daughter and you work to somewhere 10 years ago.

I've complicated this, but a simple setting which thread to automatically open, or which Gem (Gemini) and suchlike. The genuine PA on the PC.

What are your thoughts?

Be careful (can be quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing), but try this out

This makes everything you imagine and more. 

I'm currently trying to see how far I can take it.

Thank you, I initially dismissed it because of the hype around the Reddit clone.

Set up, working through the training and OMG it feels more like it knows me in 20 minutes than all the others after 18 months two years.

Great recommendation, might get a spare computer just to run it.

Absolutely! 

 

About the spare computer, I don't know why people are buying Mac Minis. I mean, they're great standalone computers, but in the end openclaw is a nodejs application (it can run pretty much everywhere), and there's still little to no consumer hardware that's able to run decent models locally. 

 

For me, so far, I've been jumping around Claude Sonnet 4.5 and GPT Codex 5.2 as I have Plus subscriptions for both ($20/month). Right now, Claude is able to outperform GPT in non-coding tasks like "move this screenshot to my desktop" or "use the password manager I created for you to get the token". 

 

I'm trying to push the boundaries of my imagination and of this thing! Would love to bounce off ideas if you're up for it!
