Microsoft has introduced a new experimental feature in its Edge browser called Copilot Mode, which uses AI to help users browse the internet more efficiently. This feature is now available for free to anyone using Edge on a Mac or PC, as long as they already have access to Microsoft Copilot.

It’s shocking, given that Microsoft was an early investor in OpenAI. With its early Bing Chat launch, Microsoft pulled ahead of both OpenAI and Google, offering the first chatbot that could search the web. Microsoft even had early access to a more advanced GPT model than the one you could use in ChatGPT at the time. Then everything changed.
