Microsoft Edge integrates Copilot AI features directly into desktop and mobile browsers

Microsoft has integrated its Copilot AI chatbot directly into the Edge browser on desktop and mobile devices, retiring the separate Copilot Mode feature previously available to users ^{[1, 2]}. The AI can now access information from all open tabs to answer questions, compare products, and summarize articles across the browsing session ^{[1, 2]}.

The update introduces several new AI-powered tools. A Study and Learn mode creates study sessions and quizzes from online articles, helping users digest information more interactively ^{[1, 2]}. The AI also features a podcast creator that assembles podcasts derived from open tabs — a feature currently available only in English-speaking markets ^{[1, 2]}. In addition, there is a writing assistant that can help with drafting text and adjusting tone.

Copilot’s capabilities extend beyond single interactions. It can access browsing history and maintain a long-term memory on both desktop and mobile platforms. This allows the AI to personalize responses based on past conversations, creating a more tailored user experience ^{[1, 2]}.

The Edge mobile app update adds the ability for users to share their screen with Copilot. They can then interact with the browsing content via voice commands, enabling a hands-free and more natural way to engage with web information ^{[1, 2]}.

The redesigned new tab page brings together chat, search, and web navigation into a unified interface. It also introduces the AI-powered Journeys tool, which organizes browsing history into thematic categories to make revisiting previous sites easier ^{[1, 2]}. Microsoft lets users choose which AI features to enable or disable in the Edge settings, giving control over their experience ^{[1, 2]}.

Microsoft’s initial public tests of Copilot Mode began in July 2025 with features allowing cross-tab search and page analysis ^[2]. The integration marks a step towards embedding AI deeply into everyday web browsing.

Users can expect these AI-powered tools to be available immediately in the latest Edge versions on desktop and mobile platforms ^{[1, 2]}.
