- Copilot mode transforms the on -board browser into a voice -controlled AI experience
- He can read all the open tabs to get more of the context of what you do
- Future features will let Edge perform tasks, such as ticket booking
Microsoft has just passed all with AI in his browser Edge, launching a new co-pilot mode. The new mode is an opt-in function that completely changes the way you use the browser.
Now, Edge doesn’t just wait until you click on something, he plans what you may like to do next, and you can ask co-pilot questions about the content you are currently consulting.
If that reminds you a little too much the unhappy Microsoft, the assistant of Trombone “ Useful ” who would try to determine what you were doing at office 97 and try to help you, then do not worry – Co -pilot mode is much less invasive and can also be easily deactivated if you do not like it.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that the new co -pilot mode is a natural evolution of the navigator, and exactly resembles the right direction so that Microsoft is heading, especially given the positive reaction to the other AI navigators, such as the comet of perplexity.
A stripped back look
The first thing you notice when you have activated Copilot mode is that you see a clean and rationalized page with a single entrance box in the center. From here you can access cat, search and web browsing:
But you don’t even need to type anything to travel the web with Copilot mode. One of the remarkable features is that you can now speak to your browser using your voice, giving it commands which mean that you can browse the web faster and without having to type at all.
You can do things like opening a YouTube video and say something like “go to the section where it shows you how to create a website”, and Copilot will find this exact section in the video for you.
Or, if you watch a long video that has a recipe in there somewhere, you can ask Copilot to find the recipe and give it to you in the form of a text:
Seeing the new Copilot mode in action, it seems very impressive because (in a feature that happens soon), you can ask him to manage the tasks for you, giving the agent qualities of the browser.
So you can ask Edge to search for something, and even book activities and services using your voice, all in the browser.
The major new features of Copilot in Edge are:
Multi-Gabarits context
Copilot can use AI to obtain the full context of what you explore online because it will have access to all your open tabs, so that this can determine your priorities, then act on them.
Acts
This is the name of Microsoft for the natural vocal navigation that I mentioned earlier. You can talk to Copilot about what you are trying to do on a page, so that you can make it compare prices or find special information on the page.
An addition “to come soon” is that you can get a co -pilot to search for your history and your identification information to make more advanced options such as reservation of reservations.
Dynamic component
Copilot does not bother because it appears in a dynamic panel that does not interfere with the web page you look at. In this way, your Copilot interaction will also avoid being disturbed by contextual windows or advertisements on the web page.
Pick up where you stopped
Another “to come soon” feature is the possibility for Copilot to continue with a subject you are looking for the last time you used the browser. So if you were looking for how to start a business, you can simply get back where you stopped the last time.
Confidentiality and security
Once a browser begins to present agent qualities (the ability to carry out tasks such as booking things for you), the question of security arises naturally. To this end, Microsoft promises to collect only the data necessary to improve your experience. Your data in Copilot for Edge is safe, secure and never shared without your permission.
How to get Copilot mode in the edge
Although not all new features are available now, you can always try Copilot mode in your Edge browser now.
It will be available in the Edge browser on Windows and Mac. From today, you can go to aka.ms/copilot-mode To opt in co -pilot mode. Once you have done this, you can activate or deactivate COPILOT mode directly in your settings.
