AI browser: innovation with Copilot Mode in Edge
What is an AI browser?
So, what is an AI browser? It’s a browser enhanced with artificial intelligence that can understand your intent, anticipate your needs, and help you complete tasks more efficiently. Unlike traditional browsers, an AI browser offers:
- Context awareness: Understanding what you’re doing and offering relevant support.
- Automation: Completing multi-step tasks like form-filling or bookings.
- Personalization: Tailoring content, suggestions, and workflows to your preferences.
Edge is always innovating in this space, offering a seamless blend of browsing and AI assistance through experimental launches like Copilot Mode. It’s a more powerful way to browse the web alongside your AI companion, Copilot.
Copilot in Edge
Copilot in Edge is more than just an AI assistant; it’s a transformative tool that turns your browser into a productivity partner. Whether you're researching, writing, coding, or shopping, Copilot is here to help. Deeply integrated into the Edge experience, Copilot understands the content of your tabs, provides intelligent suggestions, and can even take action on your behalf.
Copilot Mode in Edge activates a more immersive, task-oriented experience. In this mode, Copilot becomes even more proactive, helping you navigate, compare, and create—all without leaving your browser.
Solve real problems with Copilot Mode
Here are the handy AI browser features you can enjoy with Copilot Mode in Edge:
Copilot Actions in Edge Preview
Copilot Actions in Edge Preview helps you get more done while you browse. With Copilot Mode, you can ask Copilot for live, on-page assistance performed locally in your browser. With Actions Preview, your AI companion can help you reason across tabs and access browser features with a text prompt and even help you manage browser resources with a simple command, such as “clear my cache.” Copilot Actions in Edge is currently available in a limited preview in the US only.
Multi-tab context
With your permission, you can let Copilot see all your open tabs so it can understand the full context of what you’re exploring online. This means better comparisons, faster decisions, and less tab toggling. For example, when planning a dinner party and browsing multiple recipes at once, Copilot can adjust each recipe to account for your number of guests, create a coordinated cooking schedule, and give you a grocery list to make sure you have everything you need.
Journeys
Pick up right where you left off with Copilot Mode’s contextual memory feature, Journeys. Journeys remembers where you left off and brings it back when you need it. With Journeys, you see your past browsing projects grouped into helpful topics, so you can dive right back in, all with your explicit permission. Be the first to try it today—Journeys is currently available for free in a limited preview in the US only.
Streamlined new tab page
Tired of an unhelpful blank page or a page littered with visual news clutter when you open a new tab? Copilot Mode’s improved new tab page offers a clean, modern experience that combines chat, search, and browsing.
Quick Assist
Bring Copilot into any webpage without losing your context with Quick Assist. With Copilot open in a dynamic pane, this tool can help you navigate distractions and complex content more quickly. For example, Quick Assist can go through your email inbox and help you unsubscribe from all of the shopping newsletters that are filling up your inbox.
An AI browser designed for you
Copilot Mode’s design in Edge is made to be simple and intuitive to navigate. Its clean, intuitive layout reduces cognitive load by keeping the most important tools right where you need them—no clutter, no confusion. Smart features like multi-tab context and Quick Assist help you organize and complete tasks faster, so you can stay focused on what matters. Plus, Edge puts you in control with clear privacy settings and transparent options, so you always know what’s happening behind the scenes.
