Microsoft continues to strengthen its commitment to artificial intelligence, and on this occasion it has made a much-anticipated move, integrate ChatGPT into the command console Windows 11. This represents significant progress and becomes a very interesting addition to the ecosystem the company is building around Copilot+.

The command console is an important part of Windows 11 for advanced users because it allows you to perform various actions using specific command lines. I’m sure this description will be familiar to our older readers, because it’s basically like talking about the venerable MS-DOS operating system. The concept of both is practically the same.

It is also a very useful component for everything that allows us and with the Windows 11 command console we can perform checks and initiate repair and recovery actions. However, it has a problem when using the text command interface the user must know the commands that you want to use, which is much more complex than an icon- and window-based interface.

ChatGPT solves one of the biggest problems with the command console in Windows 11

If you don’t know the command you can’t use it’s obvious but this is where the magic of ChatGPT integration with Windows 11 command console comes into play This integration allows the user to chat directly with this AI ask for specific orders, which will help us make better use of it and find solutions to bugs we haven’t been able to solve so far.

Its operation is very simple, when we write a question in the command console chat, it is redirected to the AI, which will process it and give us an answer as quickly as possible. For example, if we ask how to create a directory, the AI ​​will tell us the specific command directly, and the best we can do copy and paste it directly to use.

We can too ask for help with bug fixes specifics we don’t know. Artificial intelligence can explain to us what the various errors mean if we give it a name that will be displayed when it appears, and it can offer us a solution in the same answer, which in most cases comes in the form of a specific command.

Microsoft ensures that it does not store chat history and that the integration works with all versions of its command console, including the Windows Subsystem for Linux. At the moment, this ChatGPT integration in the command console is only available in the Windows 11 Canary channel, so there is still some time left before this feature reaches the general version of the said operating system.
