Microsoft to give Copilot agents access to local files
Original: Microsoft is about to let Copilot loose on your file system
Microsoft is preparing to extend Copilot with agentic capabilities that can operate across a user's local file system, running on-device rather than in the cloud. The Register reports the move with skepticism, noting that safety depends on locally running agents and models working reliably. Commenters are raising concerns about security, router reliability, and giving AI tools broad file access by default.
Why now: People are debating the privacy and security implications of letting AI agents browse personal files on their own machines.

But don't worry, it's totally safe because the agents and models will (probably) be running locally. Routers never break right?
