In a bid to compete with OpenAI's new Atlas browser, Microsoft has introduced Copilot Mode in its Edge browser under significant updates to its AI assistant.
Microsoft's ChatGPT-rival browser, actually a feature named Copilot Mode, transforms Edge into an intelligent companion that remains active while browsing. It is capable of summarising pages, comparing information, and performing online tasks.
Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, described Copilot Mode as an uncommon innovation, outlining its ability to assist users in a variety of ways.
With user permission, Copilot can access open tabs, understand content, and automate tasks like booking hotels or filling out forms.
Copilot in the Edge browser was originally launched in July with basic features and remained unnoticed as an opt-in feature. However, recent updates have brought it to the limelight.
The AI-assisted browser is now equipped with new functionalities like “Actions,” which allows Copilot to complete forms and book rooms, and “Journeys,” which helps users connect related information across tabs.
The debut of Microsoft’s new AI browsing tool just days after OpenAI's Atlas browser highlights the competitive landscape in AI browsing.
As both companies are striving for advancements in AI-driven browsing, the future is anticipated to become more interactive and intelligent.
