When you start a conversation with Copilot, you can ask the chatbot questions about what\u2019s in your tabs, compare the products you\u2019re looking at, summarize your open articles, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">In its announcement, Microsoft says you can \u201cselect which experiences you want or leave off the ones you don\u2019t.\u201d The company is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/714435\/microsoft-edge-copilot-mode-ai-features\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">retiring Copilot Mode<\/a> as well, which could similarly draw information from your tabs but offered some agentic features, like the ability to book a reservation on your behalf. Microsoft has since folded these agentic capabilities into<a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/browse-with-copilot-5ed5e17e-42df-40a3-984a-20420eba86e2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> its \u201cBrowse with Copilot\u201d<\/a> tool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Several other AI features are coming to Edge, including an AI-powered \u201cStudy and Learn\u201d mode that can turn the article you\u2019re looking at into a study session or interactive quiz. There\u2019s a new tool that turns your tabs into AI-powered podcasts as well, similar to what you\u2019d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/video\/663196\/oh-no-i-turned-everything-into-an-ai-podcast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">find on NotebookLM<\/a>, and an AI writing assistant that will pop up when you start entering text on a webpage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">You can also give Copilot permission to access your browsing history to provide more \u201crelevant, high-quality answers,\u201d according to Microsoft. Copilot in Edge on desktop and mobile will come with \u201clong-term memory\u201d as well, which can tailor its responses based on your previous conversations. And, when you open up a new tab, you\u2019ll see a redesigned page that combines chat, search, and web navigation, along with the Journeys feature, which uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/805833\/microsoft-edge-copilot-mode-ai-launch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI to organize your browsing history<\/a> into categories that you can revisit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Meanwhile, an update to Edge\u2019s mobile app will allow you to share your screen with Copilot and talk through the questions about what you\u2019re seeing. Microsoft says you\u2019ll see \u201cclear visual cues\u201d when Copilot is active, \u201cso you know when it\u2019s taking an action, helping, listening, or viewing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft Edge is adding a new feature that will allow its Copilot AI chatbot to gather information from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[220,61,60,1071,43,216,80,514],"class_list":["post-447488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ai","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-microsoft","tag-news","tag-tech","tag-technology","tag-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
