Introducing Copilot Vision Preview: A Fresh Approach to Browsing
Introduction to Copilot
Since launching the new consumer Copilot in October, we have been thrilled to discover how users are personalizing their experiences with it. Copilot aids in generating ideas, offers new perspectives, and provides crucial support for navigating challenging discussions. Recently, we have worked to enhance its speed, usability, and personality based on user feedback.
Introducing Copilot Vision
Starting today, a fresh option called Copilot Vision is available for some Pro subscribers, which allows Copilot to understand the context of your online activities (with your consent). Enabling Copilot Vision means that it can see the webpage you are on and engage in a dialogue about your tasks. Imagine browsing no longer feeling isolated, but like you have a virtual companion to assist you.
An Innovative Experience on Microsoft Edge
Copilot Vision is a groundbreaking feature that is exclusive to the Microsoft Edge browser. It acts like a helpful sidekick, ready to assist whenever you need support while navigating the web. By simply activating Copilot Vision, you can receive instant insights as it scans and analyzes the content on the page you’re viewing.
Real-World Applications
Planning Events: For instance, if you are planning a visit to a museum, Copilot Vision could provide you with all the relevant details to enhance your experience.
Holiday Shopping: While shopping online, Copilot Vision can identify products that meet your specific preferences, making choices easier.
- Learning New Games: If you’re looking to learn to play a game like Geoguessr, Copilot can simplify the process.
Maintain Privacy and Control
Your privacy is our priority as we develop Copilot Vision. This feature is entirely opt-in, meaning you have full control over when to use it. Once you finish a session using Vision, all data regarding your interactions is deleted immediately. Therefore, rest assured that your information will be managed in line with the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Focused on Security
When using Copilot Vision, only the responses generated by the feature are recorded to help enhance our safety systems. No data from what you view or discuss is stored or utilized for improving our models.
Early Testing and Feedback
Since Copilot Vision is still in trial mode, it currently interacts with a limited selection of websites. As we progress, we plan to carefully broaden this list. Crucially, Copilot Vision does not capture or use any website data to train our models, adhering strictly to copyright and ensuring user safety.
We are receiving insights from impartial testers beyond Microsoft, including feedback from third-party publishers. This collaboration helps us improve how Vision interacts with web pages and creates a better user experience.
Gradual Rollout
Initially, Copilot Vision is available to a limited number of Copilot Pro subscribers in the United States via Copilot Labs. We are starting with a select group of websites, cautiously expanding as we gather user feedback and refine the experience.
We appreciate the ongoing engagement from our users. Your insights guide us in making AI more helpful and supportive. Stay tuned to learn more about Copilot Labs and explore the functionalities available with Copilot in Edge and on mobile platforms like iOS and Android.
With the introduction of Copilot Vision, we aim to revolutionize how individuals interact with the web, navigating both ease and efficiency alongside AI.
