Microsoft has made a major jump in the future of web browsing with the launch of Co -pilot mode on boardThe positioning as the first true step of the company to a native browser. This marks a pivotal moment not only for Edge, but for the whole concept of what a browser can be in the AI agent era – an era when your browser is not only a passive tool, but an active and intelligent collaborator.
What is Copilot mode?
Copilot mode is an experimental feature in Microsoft Edge which brings Copilot AI of Microsoft to the very heart of the navigation experience. Unlike traditional AI AI AI browser, Copilot mode allows AI to work “layout” – which can act proactively, understand the context in many tabs and help users cutting web size. He rethinks how users interact with the web, swiveling endless tabs and manual search for seamless trips and based on subjects and real assistance.
Key characteristics
1. Generation with multiple recovery (RAG)
Multi-Tab cloth is a flagship feature of the co -pilot mode, and for a good reason. With your authorization, Copilot can access, analyze and synthesize information on all your open tabs. This allows powerful use cases, such as:
- Instant comparison of products on purchasing sites.
- Gather research information from several scientific articles.
- Summarizing the best Hotel options from travel tabs.
Instead of frantically changing tabs or copy copy information, Copilot is heavy – the noise of the tab in usable information and strategies.
2. contextual AA actions
Copilot mode is designed to anticipate what you may want to do next. It can classify your navigation on tasks focused on the subject, manage reservations, manage the races or guide you through complex workflows, all from a unified interface. You can issue natural language commands or use hands for hands -free navigation. Soon, features such as reservation of reservations, the management of daily activities and tailor -made suggestions based on navigation history will make Copilot even more “agentic”.
3. Transparent integration
- Co -pilot area: Copilot has a presence above the address bar and on each new tab, ready to discuss, summarize or act.
- Unified search / cat: The new tab page is rationalized in a single entry – no more widgets or more dispersed news flows.
- Persistent side shutter: When invoked, Copilot remains in a dynamic side component, so you never lose sight of the original page.
4. User control and confidentiality
All co-pilot actions are opt-in, with clear visual signals indicating when the co-pilot is active. Users retain a total control over what the co -pilot can access, including the possibility of authorizing or refusing access to the content of the tabs, the navigation history or the identification information. EDGE's well -established confidentiality standards apply, ensuring that your data is protected and never shared without your authorization.
Beginning with Copilot mode
- Copilot mode is now available as an Opt-in experimental feature for Windows and Mac users on most markets where Copilot is supported.
- To try Copilot mode, simply visit the Copilot Edge mode page or activate it under Edge Settings> AI Innovations> COPILOT MODE.
- The functionality is free for a limited period, with some restrictions of use; Microsoft suggests that it could possibly become a paid offer linked to a Copilot subscription.
