How to use Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered technology for homework help

The use of artificial intelligence has come a long way in education. If you’re struggling with a difficult math problem or need ideas on how to start your research paper, you can get the help you need in seconds with AI. Microsoft Edge comes with lots of updated features to help you with your homework, including AI-powered Copilot in sidebar and tools for accessibility and learning. Learn more about Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered features and how they can be useful companions for when you have assignments to complete.

Can you use Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered tools to complete your homework?

While AI can be a helpful tool, it’s important to understand the difference between using it to help with homework and using it to do your homework entirely. AI can generate full essays and answer complex problems with the touch of a button, which defeats the purpose of doing homework. When using AI-powered tools for your homework, think of it more as a tool to help you learn and create new ideas than as a platform that will do your assignment for you.

How Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered features can help you with your homework

Copilot is built into the Microsoft Edge sidebar, making it easy to find and use. Simply click on the Copilot icon in the upper right-hand side of the Microsoft Edge sidebar.

Using Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered tools for help writing essays

To get help with writing essays, try typing in a few prompts that can help you learn more about your topic. Use multiple prompts to get answers that are more specific to what you are writing about. Copilot in Edge will generate paragraphs about your topic to give you an idea of what to talk about. Additionally, Copilot will automatically provide hyperlinks to relevant pages on the internet, and you can use these links as sources for your paper. Be sure to fact-check the information before adding it to your paper!

Using Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered tools for help with math problems

Math problems require more than just an answer. Writing down the solution without showing work doesn’t prove that you know how to solve the problem on your own. However, Copilot can provide you with a thorough explanation of how to get to the solution, so you know how to apply the information to future problems. After typing in the problem, ask Copilot for an explanation of the answer to see how it got to the solution. Once you feel like you have a good grasp on answering the problem, you can use Copilot to check your answers.

Other Microsoft Edge features for homework help

In addition to Copilot, there are plenty of learning tools that can make doing your homework a little less stressful. Try features like Immersive Reader and Read aloud for assigned readings and simplify the way you do research with Web capture and Web select. You can also browse through Microsoft Edge’s many productivity features to stay on track while doing your homework online.

Using Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered tools can make doing homework more efficient and satisfying. Get started on your homework help by downloading Microsoft Edge today.
