It sounds like the “AI” is used to index a bunch of screenshots so you can ask it what you were doing this morning/yesterday or something? Potential major privacy issue aside, it’s another instance of the AI solution providing a really marginal benefit over what already existed. Windows 11 already had a list of every window/document you had open sorted by timestamps iirc. Which, also a potential privacy issue, but still more the point is this is a very marginal upgrade to what was already there. Although even on the privacy side, a memory of X document or folder being open at time Y is less of a potential breach than the contents of the document being visible and searchable.
