TL;DR

• Microsoft has announced a few new additions to its Copilot Mode for Edge.
• These new features include agentic functionality, a Journeys feature, and improved responses when you grant access to your browsing history.
• These additions come a few days after OpenAI launched the ChatGPT-powered Atlas web browser.

Microsoft launched the Copilot Mode for Edge back in July, offering some interesting AI browser features. However, OpenAI stole Microsoft’s thunder this week with the launch of the ChatGPT-powered Atlas browser. Now, Microsoft has hit back with new features in Copilot Mode for Edge.

The company launched several previously announced additions to Copilot Mode for Edge, starting with Actions. This feature means the web browser can complete tasks on your behalf, such as making bookings or filling out forms. In fact, Microsoft says it can make restaurant reservations or search through your email inbox and unsubscribe you from shopping newsletters. In any event, this agentic feature comes as Chrome and Atlas offer similar smarts.
