A new Microsoft product aims to remember everything you do on your PC
Summary
Out of all the big blowout declarations from Microsoft Build, from the launch of all new “Copilot+” PCs with Snapdragon X Elite chips to new software, perhaps the most standout offering is Recall. It’s an always-on screenshotting time machine that is supposed to let users search through every last minute of their existence on PC, from browsing to watching videos to using apps. Microsoft has repeatedly claimed that the program won’t send any information to outside parties and that all your data is encrypted on-device and tied to your user profile. While Microsoft promises you’ll be able to delete anything the feature captures, you might need to do some work upfront to ensure it won’t automatically start snapping up your private photos or specific sites you may visit that you haven’t already specified. Gizmodo reached out to Microsoft to ask if any more upcoming “AI PCs” sporting the Intel Core Ultra 7 or 9 chips will also get access, but we have yet to hear back.
