Microsoft enters a new stage in the smart browsers race by launching the “Copilot Mode” feature inside the Edge browser, which aims to facilitate the implementation of tasks during browsing through tools supported by artificial intelligence, and this step comes within the framework of the escalating competition between technology companies to integrate artificial intelligence capabilities directly into the daily user experience.
Smart assistant inside the browser
The Copilot feature provides users with the ability to implement tasks in an interactive way, whether through writing or voice commands, and by using the Microsoft Copilot system, the smart assistant can summarize web pages, write articles, prepare shopping lists, and even suggest adjustments to food recipes, and the real strength in this tool lies in its ability to process active browsing content and convert it into implementable information.
Smart comparisons and multi -page analysis
One of the most prominent functions of Copilot is its ability to analyze all open tabs (after obtaining the user’s permission) and helping the user to compare flight offers or hotels, and the feature works as a smart solution to move between multiple sources quickly and efficiently, and although some tasks such as reservation are still manually, Microsoft confirmed that it works to provide the possibility of implementing these steps automatically in the future.
Full control and transparency in privacy
Microsoft has been keen to confirm that Copilot cannot access browsing data unless the user is given an explicit permission to do so, and this permission is clearly displayed within the browser interface, and the feature is default, and it is only manually activated by the user, which reflects the company’s focus on ensuring privacy and transparency in the browsing experience.
The possibility of limits or paid plans
Although the feature is currently available to users without cost, Microsoft has not ruled out the introduction of limits to use or submitted plans in the future with the development of service and increased dependence on it, and this policy shows the company’s keenness to build a sustainable use model for artificial intelligence features.
