What I love about the updates we’re making to Copilot Mode in Edge today is how it meets you right where you left off across all your tabs, helping you pick up the thread, and even completing multi-step actions for you. Take a look.

Why do we browse like this? Always scrolling, hunting, clicking and searching? Why do we have so many tabs open? What if we could just ask? Hey Copilot put together a walking tour of museums near my hotel with no backtracking. Here's your walking tour starting at 9:00 AM. Also, find me the best burger joint along the route for lunch. Here's your updated walking tour with a burger lunch at noon. Hey copilot, I don't know what all of this means. Which TV is best for watching sports in a room with lots of sunlight? Absolutely. For bright rooms and sports, the Samsung OLED S95F is a strong pick. Adjust all these recipes for seven guests and combine them into one cooking schedule. Also, I'm out of milk. Here's a cooking schedule scaled for seven guests and also milk free. Hey copilot, read the T's and C's of these gym memberships. Which one has no strings attached and I can cancel whenever I want? Adventure Works is the only one with no strings attached. Show me that blue hoodie. I was looking at last week's. Got it. They sung your browsing history. This is the hoodie you were looking at last week. If they do free returns, buy it for me and Medium. Go through my inbox and unsubscribe me from all shopping newsletters. Unsubscribing from shopping newsletters in Outlook. Anything else I can help you with? Freedom.
By integrating across tabs and understanding workflow state, Copilot moves from being a reactive tool to an active partner that reduces cognitive load and accelerates task completion.
Love this direction, Satya! 👏 Copilot Mode in Edge is a great step toward a truly context-aware browsing experience — meeting users exactly where they are. If Microsoft doubled down on voice-driven interactions next, it could redefine how we use the browser as a natural interface. You should definitely check out what the team at Wispr is doing — their approach to voice-first AI is incredibly inspiring.
A big step forward. Most copilots today still feel like add-ons—useful, but disconnected. Meeting users where they already are (tabs, workflows, context) is what makes AI stick. The harder challenge isn’t just completing tasks, but doing so in a way that feels seamless and trustworthy across work and personal boundaries. Excited to see how this evolves.
Satya the new presentation looks powerful and cool. I’m curious how your team is approaching the two aspects: 1. The learning curve for everyday users—while the tools look great, many users may still find it challenging to explore or adopt them effectively. Incentivizing engagement could encourage deeper learning and broader adoption. 2. With an increasing number of users relying on incognito browsing to reduce ad exposure, how is Microsoft planning to balance user privacy preferences with personalized experiences? Hopefully this may reduce the 200 tabs I keep open all the time.
That’s a brilliant evolution of how we interact with browsers. Having Copilot remember context, continue workflows, and complete complex actions seamlessly turns Edge into a truly intelligent assistant—one that saves time and keeps focus exactly where it belongs.
This is a remarkable update for Copilot Mode in Edge. The ability to pick up where you left off across tabs and complete multi-step actions automatically is a game-changer for productivity. This seamless integration of AI into daily browsing tasks is exactly the kind of efficiency boost that shows AI's potential to transform how we work. Impressive to see how AI is continuously enhancing user experience in real-world applications. #AI #Innovation #Productivity #TechForGood #UserExperience
The Copilot Groups feature is such a powerful reflection of Microsoft ’s vision ; AI not as an isolated assistant, but as a collaborative catalyst that brings people together around shared purpose. For years, productivity has meant individual efficiency; this shift moves us into collective intelligence. Being able to brainstorm, plan, and execute with Copilot aligning everyone in real time ; that’s transformational. It’s not just a feature; it’s a new way of working. The value is not only in saved hours but in deeper synergy and focus. When technology helps teams think together, act faster, and stay aligned, we see true productivity unlocked. Congratulations, Satya; this shows what happens when innovation meets empathy for how people really work.
Copilot Mode in Edge can interpret context across your open tabs, respond to chat or voice commands, and — with your explicit consent — compare options and execute multi-step tasks (for example, bookings) using stored history and credentials. This represents a significant advancement in making browsers truly intelligent assistants that understand user workflows. The emphasis on explicit consent for accessing browser data demonstrates Microsoft's commitment to privacy-first AI implementation.
