• Q: Is a Microsoft account necessary to use the app?
  • A: No, the app does NOT require a Microsoft account for use.

  • A: The app features popular open source models and will eventually include APIs from the Windows Copilot Runtime. When executing a sample, you can select which model you want to use.
• Q: Is the app's source code accessible? Can I contribute new samples?
  • A: Yes, the app is completely open-source, and its code is accessible on GitHub. Feel free to contribute by filing an issue, or submitting a PR and one of our moderators will review it.
