Microsoft continues its strategy for integrating artificial intelligence by launching co -pilot mode in its Edge browser. This new feature, currently in the test phase, is based on COPILOT technologies already present in the company’s productivity tools. The objective: to offer an AI assisted navigation experience, capable of analyzing the open tabs, summarizing content and even automating certain actions, such as reservations.
Unlike a simple plugin, the co -pilot mode works as an autonomous assistant, capable of interacting with the user proactively. He can, for example, respond to a request based on the content of several tabs without manual intervention. This approach transforms Edge into an intelligent browser, against the current practices dominated by Google Chrome.
Although free during this experimental phase, Microsoft does not exclude a paid offer in the future, as part of its AI monetization strategy. In parallel, the firm ensures that solid guarantees are implemented regarding the protection of privacy, a major issue while technology analyzes navigation data in real time.
The arrival of the co -pilot mode occurs in a tense competitive context, while Chrome also includes tools based on AI. But Edge could appeal to a professional audience already familiar with the Microsoft ecosystem and its collaborative tools.
Beyond the simple rivalry between browsers, this innovation marks a paradigm change: web navigation becomes a privileged terrain for artificial intelligence. For Microsoft, the bet is clear: transform Edge into an intelligent platform and redefine the daily use of the Internet in the AI era.
