Did you know Windows just made copy-&-paste smarter?

Here is a feature redefining secure productivity on Windows

Key Takeaways:
Your clipboard can now run tasks via local AI models—no cloud needed.
Actions like translation or summarization stay private on your device.
You choose between cloud or on-device models + see your clipboard content immediately.

Microsoft’s Advanced Paste tool in PowerToys just took a leap forward. With update 0.96 you can route clipboard tasks through local AI models like Foundry Local or Ollama which run on your device’s neural unit. ([theverge.com](https://www.theverge.com/news/825668/microsoft-advanced-paste-powertoys-on-device-ai)) That means translating, summarising, or reformatting copied text without ever sending it through the cloud. For teams handling sensitive info this cuts risk dramatically. The tool also adds a drop-down model selector and preview for what’s on your clipboard.
