Microsoft Edge just started testing a new Copilot Mode that gives Microsoft's AI chatbot the ability to perform tasks for you from your browser.

How well it works in practice remains to be seen, but Microsoft notes that Copilot Mode is still considered an experimental feature. It’s also opt-in by default during these tests and is currently free for any Mac or PC users with access to Copilot. There are a few main components to Copilot Mode at launch, with more on the way.

Microsoft is launching a new AI-powered Copilot Mode in its Edge browser, aiming to challenge Google Chrome and compete in the growing wave of AI-enabled web browsers.
