Windows Recall

A new "feature" that will take snapshots of your screen every few seconds and store them in an archive that is searchable.

Recall is a new feature that's in testing stages currently, and will be made available first on Windows Copilot+ devices featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chipsets.
These chipsets include an NPU or Neural Processing Unit that is designed to accelerate AI workloads.
