What’s happened? Microsoft has enhanced Edge’s Copilot Mode with two new features, and it’s now widely available on Windows and macOS.
- First announced as an experimental feature in July, Copilot Mode offers users a chat interface in each new tab where they can ask questions, search, or reason across multiple open tabs.
- The new Copilot Actions feature lets users perform tasks like filling out forms, unsubscribing from emails, or booking hotels.
- Copilot Journeys, on the other hand, organizes browsing history into topics, making it easy for users to quickly pick up where they left off.
- In addition, Microsoft says Edge’s Copilot Mode can now analyze users’ browsing history to offer higher-quality responses.
Why is this important? With the AI browser space heating up, making Copilot Mode widely available helps Microsoft Edge stay in the game.
- The new Actions feature allows users to quickly perform routine tasks, giving them time to focus on what’s important.
- Journeys offers a new way for users to revisit and explore previously accessed topics with ease.
Why should I care? If you’re a long-time Edge user, you no longer need to download alternatives like ChatGPT’s Atlas, Dia, or Comet for an AI-powered browsing experience.
- The new Copilot Actions should help you save time and reduce repetitive tasks.
- With Journeys, you can easily revisit websites related to specific topics without relying on bookmarks.
What’s next? Copilot Mode in Edge is now widely available on Windows and macOS in all Copilot markets, and it will soon be available in the Edge app for mobile. Copilot Actions and Journeys are currently available for free in a limited preview in the US only.
