Paste with AI should use Copilot, not OpenAI

[cfischer69]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

A microsoft AI product should integrate with Copilot, not require separate OpenAI API keys

Scenario when this would be used?

Just where you already intend it

Supporting information

Sends confusing messaging about Microsoft's AI strategy

This is a fantastic feature request, and something we're investigating on adding in the future.

Great idea. I'm on Win10, but enabled Copilot using ViVeTool. I was going to disable it since I usually have a ChatGPT/Claude Window open anyway, but this would be quite useful.

The title seems to suggest it should use Copilot instead of OpenAPI, but the post only says it should integrate with Copilot.

Co-pilot integration seems obvious, but I don't see why OpenAI shouldn't be an option. Or any AI that provides the necessary API.

Especially if using Copilot like this would require a Microsoft account, or may end up requiring one in the future. That would lock local account only users out of the feature.

Most models have standardized their API to match OpenAI so I agree it would be ideal to allow any AI (Claude, Gemini etc.), however since PowerToys is a Microsoft product adding support for competitor AIs might be disallowed.

MS has equity in Mistral so that could be a viable option if the others aren't.

User here (not coder or developer) i really love and utilise power toys. but as you state, it is a bit regressive to require an open AI API.

i have signed up to Copilot Pro and have been round in circles trying to make Advance paste work. its does not seem to work with a free open AI API. it says API key quota exceeded, which i assume is because i do not subscribe to open AI (GPT).

seems excessive Microsoft to expect a user to need to subscriptions to use power toy and have co-pilot integration into MS office ect.
