Copilot, the artificial intelligence assistant, was added by Microsoft this year to many of its services, including the Edge browser, which is distinguished by its version tailored for desktop computers with a full version of Copilot. On the other hand, users of the browser on mobile devices faced a significant lack of features.
Microsoft’s current goal is to bridge the gap in Copilot between versions of the Edge browser tailored for desktops and mobile devices through a major update benefiting Android and iOS users.
The mobile-oriented version of the Edge browser now enjoys extensive support for the Copilot AI assistant.
The update does not include any new features not available in other versions of Copilot, but it makes the mobile-oriented version of the Edge browser keep up with the version tailored for desktops.
Now, you can request a summary of a PDF file from Copilot when opening it through the Edge browser, where AI-generated textual answers and innovative images created by the DALL-E 3 model are produced.
Copilot in the Edge browser for mobile devices has the ability to convert long documents in PDF format into short summaries or key points.
You can also interact with different parts of a PDF document, as the new update enhances contextual queries using the GPT-4 Turbo model.
If you are watching a video on YouTube, you can request a summary of the video from Copilot, which works when text or translation is available, because Copilot summarizes texts in the Edge browser for mobile devices, not video frames.
The video summary involves compiling preprocessed segments and qualified content with translation. While not able to summarize all video clips, Microsoft has stated that this feature should work with most YouTube content.
The artificial intelligence assistant Copilot has been updated to support add-ons within the Edge browser on mobile devices. As a result, you can disable Bing search engine features and use Copilot as a standalone chatbot like ChatGPT.
Once the search is disabled, Copilot transitions into ChatGPT, maintaining the same quality of quick responses. However, it provides you with relevant information based on the query submitted.
There are a variety of external add-ons being tested by Microsoft for the artificial intelligence assistant “Copilot,” with plans to bring “GPT” to Bing soon.
