Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO.Microsoft Edge isadding a new featurethat will allow its Copilot AI chatbot to gather information from all of your open tabs. When you start a conversation with Copilot, you can ask the chatbot questions about what’s in your tabs, compare the products you’re looking at, summarize your open articles, and more.In its announcement, Microsoft says you can “select which experiences you want or leave off the ones you don’t.” The company isretiring Copilot Modeas 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 intoits “Browse with Copilot”tool.Several other AI features are coming to Edge, including an AI-powered “Study and Learn” mode that can turn the article you’re looking at into a study session or interactive quiz. There’s a new tool that turns your tabs into AI-powered podcasts as well, similar to what you’dfind on NotebookLM, and an AI writing assistant that will pop up when you start entering text on a webpage.You can also give Copilot permission to access your browsing history to provide more “relevant, high-quality answers,” according to Microsoft. Copilot in Edge on desktop and mobile will come with “long-term memory” as well, which can tailor its responses based on your previous conversations. And, when you open up a new tab, you’ll see a redesigned page that combines chat, search, and web navigation, along with the Journeys feature, which usesAI to organize your browsing historyinto categories that you can revisit.Meanwhile, an update to Edge’s mobile app will allow you to share your screen with Copilot and talk through the questions about what you’re seeing. Microsoft says you’ll see “clear visual cues” when Copilot is active, “so you know when it’s taking an action, helping, listening, or viewing.”Follow topics and authorsfrom this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Emma RothAIMicrosoftNewsTechWebMost PopularMost PopularGoogle announces its Chromebook successor: the GooglebookAndroid Auto is now one (screen) size fits allWhy does the Googlebook exist?Sam Altman was winning on the stand, but it might not be enoughThe 9 biggest new features in Android 17The Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to ourTermsandPrivacy Notice.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
