How to Enable Windows Copilot Using ViveTool
Microsoft is incorporating AI technologies into all its popular services, including Windows 11, Microsoft 365, and more. Windows Copilot is Microsoft’s AI agent in Windows 11, designed to help you work more productively and get things done faster.
In this article, we will guide you through enabling Windows Copilot AI on Windows 11, though you’ll need a third-party tool.
What Is ViveTool and Why Do You Need It to Enable Windows Copilot?
The third-party tool you need is ViveTool, a software that can enable hidden features or ones limited to select Windows users. Windows Copilot is one such functionality: at the time of writing, the feature is limited to select Windows users running Windows 11 Dev Insider builds.

Once you’ve joined the Dev Channel, it’s time to download the ViveTool. To help you with the process, we have a detailed guide ondownloading and using ViveTool to enable unreleased features.
To enable Windows Copilot using ViveTool, you’ll need to install Windows 11 Dev build 23493 or later.
Now that you’ve successfully installed ViveTool, you’re halfway through enabling the Windows Copilot on your PC.

Windows Copilot Makes Things Easier… but It’s Not Nearly as Powerful as Bing Chat
Windows Copilot is not available for everyone, and there is a reason for that. Microsoft will continue testing it with Insiders until it becomes ready for the general public. In other words, if you enable Windows Copilot using ViveTool, you will experience some issues. Windows Copilot is essentially Bing Chat built into Windows 11 and has system-level access.
However, the former may not be as good as the latter regarding stability and performance. The only significant advantage Windows Copilot has over Bing Chat is it can control Windows 11’s settings.
