Sneaky Bastards!

You are expected to briefly consider that the "Apps Explorer" has been updated and that you do not need to concern yourself with any of the details. Whatever organization is responsible for it is just trying to help, right? So... OK? ...and then click OK. I hope you see why I call them sneaky bastards.

When I first tried Copilot, I was greeted with a friendly interface—but immediately interrupted by a pop-up warning:

"Unsaved changes will be lost. Are you sure you want to continue?"

As a first-time user, I hadn't typed anything yet. So what changes were at risk? The system didn't say. That moment of confusion could've been avoided with a simple addition: a "What's changes?" button that lets Copilot explain what triggered the warning.

✨ The Proposal

Add a contextual help button to safety prompts that activates Copilot to describe the specific unsaved changes at risk. This turns a generic interruption into a personalized, transparent moment of clarity.

✅ Benefits

• Reduces confusion, especially for new users.
• Builds trust by showing the system understands user input.
• Leverages Copilot's real-time awareness to enhance UX without adding friction.

💡 Beyond UX: Rewarding Ingenuity

As someone who thinks deeply about AI design, I believe the top users—those who stress-test systems and offer high-value feedback—should be recognized and rewarded. Microsoft could create an Elite Feedback Program to invite users identified by Copilot to shape future features and receive compensation or recognition for their contributions.

🧭 Final Thought

AI is evolving fast. But if it wants to make a great first impression, it needs to listen to the people who push it hardest—and smartest.
