Microsoft Edge is now getting more AI, and I’d be surprised if an even bigger push for more Copilot isn’t just around the corner
- Microsoft Edge is incorporating Copilot prompts on the New Tab Page for a more prominent use of the AI assistant.
- Users are encouraged to use Copilot for search queries, with an icon placed next to the search option on the NTP.
- The latest Edge update (version 136) offers fuller integration of Copilot on the New Tab Page.
- Suggested Copilot prompts like 'get advice' or 'write a first draft' are part of this enhancement.
- Users may click on the Copilot icon in the search box to redirect their search queries from Bing to Copilot.
- Microsoft is proceeding cautiously with the rollout of Copilot features on the NTP to gauge user feedback and acceptance.
- Microsoft is exploring additional AI features like Edge Copilot Mode, focusing on a more Copilot-centric experience on the NTP.
- The potential introduction of 'context clues' in Copilot Mode raises privacy concerns as it could access web history for personalized responses.
- The Copilot-related updates are still in testing, including the changes to the NTP, with Microsoft proceeding with a controlled feature rollout.
- Microsoft's gradual approach aligns with the intent to expand AI capabilities in Edge while considering user apprehensions of AI integration in the OS.
