Overview
- Copilot Mode launched July 28 as an opt-in experiment in Edge on Windows and Mac, available free for a limited time.
- Once enabled, Copilot oversees the address bar, new tab page and all open tabs to deliver contextual insights and suggestions on demand.
- The AI assistant can execute multistep tasks—such as booking appointments, creating shopping lists and drafting content—through simple natural language commands.
- Microsoft enforces permission-based data access, displays clear visual indicators when Copilot is active and protects information under its trusted privacy standards.
- Planned updates will enable credential and browsing history access for more complex actions and introduce a “pick up where you left off” session-resumption feature.
