Microsoft brings gen AI-powered Copilot Mode to Edge browser

Microsoft Copilot utilises OpenAI's ChatGPT Large Language Model, in addition to Microsoft's Proprietary LLMs, to deliver accurate results with correct context.

Last month, Google launched generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI)-based AI Mode in the search app on both Android and iOS platforms in India.

Now, Microsoft has announced a similar experimental Copilot AI mode in the Edge browser. It utilises OpenAI's ChatGPT Large Language Model, in addition to Microsoft's Proprietary LLMs, to deliver accurate results with correct context.

"It doesn’t just wait idly for you to click but anticipates what you might want to do next. It doesn’t just give you endless tabs to sift through but works with you as a collaborator that makes sense of it all," Microsoft said.

The new Copilot Mode, if permission is given, can intuitively understand the search query based on the tabs opened in the Edge browser and deliver the right suggestions.

For instance, the user is looking through multiple travel website tabs on the browser to check which offers the best value-for-money tour package. But, can't figure out which is the best option.

Here comes the Copilot Mode. The user can tap on the AI Mode and ask it to get all the right details under the specific budget.

It will go through all the webpages opened in the web browser to fully understand the context of the request and suggest the best tour package to the user.

It goes beyond delivering the answer. It will also go through weather updates related to trip duration and suggest whether to take an umbrella/raincoat or sunscreen cream/shades along with the backpack. Also, list some of the must-visit places to check out during the trip.

The new Copilot Mode is available for free, for a limited time, in all Copilot markets, including India ,exclusively on Edge for Windows and Mac PCs.
