Microsoft Edge now has a Copilot mode with AI features

Microsoft’s Edge browser has officially launched the experimental Copilot Mode, a new mode that lets you use AI to help with everyday tasks and speed up information retrieval.

Copilot Mode will help save time when working with tabs

According to Microsoft on its blog, Copilot Mode is now available in Edge as an experimental option. Some users started accessing the feature back in May, but the full announcement is only now. Enabling the mode is voluntary: it’s up to the user to decide whether to activate the AI features.

According to Microsoft’s blog, the mode is now available as an experimental option.

One of the key features of Copilot Mode is “context awareness” of open tabs. After permission from the user, the AI can analyze the contents of the tabs and help with tasks. For example, when searching for vacation rentals on different websites, Copilot can be tasked with determining which options are closest to the beach and have kitchen facilities.

Support for voice commands and automatic actions

Microsoft also introduced Actions, a voice navigation support feature. Users can now address Copilot with their voice: for example, asking to open product tabs for comparison. In the future, Copilot will be able to use the user’s browser history and even login credentials to make reservations on websites.

An additional tool called Journeys. It categorizes current and past browser sessions by topic and helps you continue your work, such as recommending additional content or next steps in your research.

All features work only with user permission

Microsoft emphasizes that all Copilot Mode features are only activated manually. None of them will turn on without permission. The company also ensures there are visual indicators in the interface when the AI is working with your data or listening to voice commands.
