Microsoft Edge Revolutionizes Browsing with Copilot and AI

Microsoft Edge continues to push the boundaries of web browsing with the introduction of new features based on artificial intelligence. The latest update to its browser integrates Copilot, a chatbot capable of extracting information from all open tabs. This feature allows users to ask questions about the content of their tabs, compare products, or summarize articles they are reading.

Microsoft has announced that users can choose which experiences they want to enable or disable. Additionally, the Copilot Mode, which offered agent-like features such as booking seats, has been removed. These capabilities have been integrated into the "Browse with Copilot" tool.

Among other new features, a "Study and Learn" mode transforms articles into study sessions or interactive quizzes. Another innovative tool converts tabs into AI podcasts, a feature similar to that offered by NotebookLM. Furthermore, an AI writing assistant appears when the user starts typing text on a web page.

Copilot can also access browsing history to provide more relevant answers. On both desktop and mobile, Copilot will benefit from long-term memory, adapting its responses based on past conversations. Additionally, when you open a new tab, a redesigned page combines chat, search, and web browsing, along with the Journeys feature, which organizes browsing history into revisited categories.

Finally, an update to the Edge mobile app will allow users to share their screen with Copilot and discuss the displayed items. Microsoft assures that clear visual indicators will inform users when Copilot is active, ensuring complete transparency during its use.
