Microsoft is reportedly testing a new feature in the taskbar called “Companions.” According to Windows Latest, it seems to be about support for AI agents, but exactly how it all works, well, it’s too early to say.
The references to Companions were first spotted in Build 26454 of Windows Server, but since then traces of the feature have also appeared in beta versions of Windows 11.
Possibly, the new feature could be one of the highlights of version 25H2 of Windows 11, an upgrade that will be rolled out to the public in the autumn.
Microsoft hasn’t said exactly what Companions is for, but the name makes it sound like it could be a more personalized AI assistant. Maybe even a follow-up to earlier features like Copilot.
If that’s the case, it falls in line with what Microsoft’s been doing all along. It’s an ongoing effort to pack more AI into the Windows experience.
