Microsoft demos building offline AI-powered Windows apps using GitHub Copilot, WinUI, and the Windows AI stack.

“whether you're bringing your own model, whether you're looking for models on Hugging Face, or use some of these primitives uh primitives that we provide as part of the Windows SDK, we're trying to make it easy for you to effectively uh run AI models on Windows.”

A Microsoft Build demo session showed building a fully offline AI-powered media-processing Windows app using GitHub Copilot, WinUI, and the Windows AI stack (Project Local, Microsoft Foundry on Windows).
