Microsoft is pushing its Edge browser into the future with new AI “Copilot Mode,” transforming it from a mere tool into a collaborative agent. Announced Monday, this experimental feature empowers Edge to understand the context of all open tabs, answering user queries, comparing products, and finding relevant information.
Unlike traditional chatbots, Copilot Mode anticipates user needs by drawing on a holistic understanding of the user’s current browsing activities. Microsoft envisions a future where this AI agent can autonomously complete tasks, even making purchases on behalf of the user. This marks a significant step towards a more personalized and efficient browsing experience, leveraging AI to actively assist users in navigating the web. Microsoft hopes this will redefine how people interact with their browsers.
