Microsoft Edge now an ‘AI-powered browser’ with Copilot Mode

Microsoft has introduced Copilot Mode, an experimental feature designed to transform Microsoft Edge into a web browser powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

As the company explained on Monday, this new mode transforms Edge’s interface, with new tabs showing a single input box that combines chat, search, and web navigation functions.

Once Copilot Mode is enabled, the AI assistant will be able to analyze all open browser tabs with the user’s permission, comparing information and assisting with various tasks, such as researching vacation rentals.
