Overview

• Copilot Mode launched July 29 as a free opt-in feature on Windows and Mac, integrating the assistant directly into Edge.
• The sidebar AI can distill long articles, translate foreign languages and convert units to accelerate information retrieval.
• With user permission, Copilot accesses all open tabs simultaneously to perform complex queries such as comparing hotel options.
• Users grant granular data permissions for history and login access, though certain advanced tasks may later require a Copilot Pro subscription.
• Future updates will add a session diary, deeper browsing-context access and enhanced natural voice recognition.
