Summary

  • Microsoft has announced an upgraded AI Hub, to be launched initially in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, with a view to expanding the service to other countries in the future.
  • The AI Hub provides users with a simplified onboarding process, offering recommendations for AI tools that new users can leverage with their Copilot + devices.
  • Microsoft has emphasised the suitability of Windows Studio Effects, Paint Cocreator and Photos Image Creator for beginners, with the Hub also serving to update users on future developments concerning both dedicated apps and built-in Windows tools such as Recall and Improved Windows Search.
  • The Hub aims to make the most of Neural Network Processing Units (NPUs), but buyers of AI PCs should be mindful of the specific hardware requirements of the tasks they wish to complete.
