PowerToys Run Function: Ask to Copilot

Open Tomflame-4ever opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description of the new feature / enhancement

With the recent integration of a native Copilot app in Windows Insider Channels, It could be very useful if we can enter a prompt into Copilot via PowerToys Run feature, like it is for search the web function.

Please consider this option, I'll be glad to watch it work.

Scenario when this would be used?

I need to ask something very fast to copilot, but if I have it not working in background I'll need to first open the app and then prompt, or if I have it in background and I use the fast view, sometimes it takes some time to charge, it would be more efficient if I could just enter the prompt in PowerToys run and then let the app and the prompt charge at the same time.

Hi @Tomflame-4ever, would this plugin solve your issue? https://github.com/ferraridavide/ChatGPTPowerToys

Hi @PesBandi, thanks for your recommendation, but I didn't like the fact that it opened the web browser instead of an app. In fact, I was able to solve the problem because just today, Perplexity released a desktop app with a similar feature. 😆

Anyway, I'm leaving the issue open because I think it would be very useful for users in general, and it's a feature with a lot of potential.
