Microsoft has introduced a new feature in its Edge browser called “Copilot Mode,” marking a groundbreaking development in web browsing technology.
Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the tool is designed to enhance how users interact with the internet by introducing an intelligent assistant that can streamline various online tasks.
Using Copilot Mode, users can navigate to the web with the help of an intelligent assistant that can anticipate user needs, assist with research, and even complete routine tasks.
The feature has the potential to revolutionise how people use the internet, making it more effective and intuitive.
Microsoft envisions this feature as a significant step forward in making online navigation more efficient and user-friendly.
The AI-powered assistant is capable of handling several tasks, such as creating shopping lists, scheduling appointments, and writing content.
One of its standout capabilities is contextual awareness as it can analyse open browser tabs to understand the user’s activity and offer relevant assistance.
For instance, users can ask Copilot to provide vegan alternatives for a recipe or to display the recipe in a more condensed way.
While Copilot Mode is still in its experimental phase, its potential to reshape web usage is considerable.
Microsoft has stated that user privacy and control remain top priorities. The company assures that the assistant will only access browsing content with the user’s explicit permission, aiming to maintain transparency and safeguard personal data.
