Microsoft Edge Copilot now pulls AI insights from all your tabs

Microsoft Edge is rolling out a major Copilot update that lets the AI chatbot gather information from all your open tabs simultaneously. When you start a conversation, you can ask Copilot questions about the content in your tabs, compare products you're looking at across different sites, or get a summary of multiple articles. Microsoft says you can "select which experiences you want or leave off the ones you don't." The company is also retiring Copilot Mode—which previously offered agentic features like booking reservations—and folding those capabilities into the existing "Browse with Copilot" tool.

Beyond tab-wide search, Edge gains several new AI features. A "Study and Learn" mode turns articles into interactive study sessions or quizzes. A new tool creates AI-powered podcasts from your tabs, similar to Google's NotebookLM. An AI writing assistant automatically pops up when you start typing on a webpage. Copilot can also access your browsing history for more relevant answers, and it gains long-term memory that tailors responses based on past conversations. The new tab page is redesigned to combine chat, search, and web navigation, plus a "Journeys" feature that organizes browsing history into revisitable categories. On mobile, you can now share your screen with Copilot and ask questions verbally. Microsoft promises "clear visual cues" so you always know when Copilot is active.
