The internet has given us an outlet for unlimited creativity. But from endless tabs multiplying like rabbits to content ideas scattered across 5 different note-taking apps, it’s also given us unlimited chaos.
If you’ve ever wished you had an extra brain to keep it together, we’re with you. Fortunately, Copilot, Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant, just launched three new major updates that are designed to support, not replace creators just like you in the chaos.
Taming Tabs With AI Browsing
We’ve all been here before: twenty tabs open, each one important (allegedly). You’re researching a topic for your next video, cross-referencing sources, and fact-checking claims. But as a result, you waste time clicking and searching for that one article, one quote, or one piece of content inspo you swear you bookmarked.
Copilot Mode in Edge is now designed to solve that problem for creators. Powered by Copilot, Microsoft Edge makes navigating the web into an organized, actionable process.
With your permission, Copilot can see and reason through all your open tabs. It can summarize information, compare content across sources, and even take action by filling out forms and booking reservations.
Forgot where you left off fleshing out that next video idea? Edge has your back with Journeys, which groups past searches, pages, and chats into relevant topics. With your permission, it also takes smart actions to reopen tabs, summarize findings, and draft next steps.
Lastly, Edge makes it so you can browse the web hands-free. Use voice commands to make multitasking effortless.
When you’re creating content that requires not just inspiration, but real research backed by evidence and sources, Edge turns the chaos of browsing the web into an organized and knowledgeable experience.
AI Goes Multiplayer
Since releasing to the world, LLM tools have been amazing, but also isolating. We talk to tech in one-on-one conversations with no real way to collaborate with others in real time.
If you’re a creator that works with an editor or collaborates with others on bigger projects, Copilot Groups changes the dynamic. Think of it as a multiplayer tool, a shared space where small teams can work with AI together.
Add up to 32 people to a Copilot session with a shared link that anyone can join. Copilot will act like a personal concierge, facilitating your collaboration forward.
Working on a new video series with your team? Everyone involved can prompt Copilot to research different angles, find relevant resources, and identify story elements all in one place.
Copilot summarizes discussions, organizes ideas, tallies votes, assigns tasks and sends reminders. It also brings all of its creative capabilities like image generation, idea remixing, and running summaries into a single, collaborative space.
An AI Companion With Personality and Guardrails
AI companions walk a fine line.
Make them too robotic, and they feel cold. Make them too human, and things get uncanny fast. Microsoft has been taking user feedback to figure out exactly where that sweet spot is.
Mico is a carefully considered answer to all of the above. It delivers smart, supportive companionship through real-time voice conversations enhanced with visual expressions that adapt to the flow of conversation.
For creators, Mico works great as a hands-free brainstorming partner. You can:
Talk through how to structure a 30-minute video while reviewing your footage
Stress-test your thesis for an idea before you commit to filming
Think out loud about story angles while you’re away from your desk
Practice a pitch before an important sponsorship call
And more. Being a creator often means spending hours alone researching, writing, thinking, and refining your ideas. Think of Mico as an AI avatar that doesn’t replace human collaboration, but makes solo work feel more supported.
Building AI That Works With You
AI should augment human capacity, not replace it. Whether you’re collaborating with others, thinking through creative challenges, or just trying to stay organized, Copilot is designed to do exactly that.
Great content often takes time and effort. And Microsoft launched these new updates for creators who want extra help telling stories that require careful research and creative choices that can’t be rushed.
The new updates above are built to support the way creators like you work. AI handles the logistics so you can focus on what matters most: turning ideas into content worth consuming.
