Microsoft is currently testing even deeper integration of its Copilot AI within its Edge browser on Windows 11, reports Windows Latest. This agentic integration is apparently so next-level that it’s been called a “Perplexity Comet killer.” (Don’t know what Comet is? Check out our recent hands-on experience of the AI browser and where it falls short.)
The latest test version of Copilot in Edge includes a “Browser Actions” toggle, which gives Copilot access to your Edge profile—that includes logins, saved passwords, browsing history, and cookies. This allows the AI assistant to effectively act as you on your behalf to launch pages, click on links, and fill out forms without annoying login prompts.
Another new feature is called “Journeys,” which allows Copilot to analyze the last seven days of your browsing history to create summaries and “cards” on the new tab page. Microsoft emphasizes that all your data is kept local and isn’t used for AI training or advertising purposes. However, the feature does require a Microsoft account.
Microsoft also emphasizes that Copilot can’t control Windows outside the Edge browser or bypass passwords and two-factor authentication. You must authorize access and manually send tabs to Copilot. It isn’t yet clear when this deeper integration will be released in full.
