Microsoft has announced a new feature, Copilot Vision. It’s an addition to its artificial intelligence assistant, Copilot, and is currently free to utilize in the Microsoft Edge browser. This feature goes way beyond what a typical voice assistant can do. It has the ability to read what appears on your screen and respond to voice commands in real time.
What Can Copilot Vision Do
Copilot Vision makes it easier for users to talk to their browser. You can communicate with it by tapping on the microphone icon in Edge. The assistant, once activated, listens and acts on what you can see on your screen.
For example, if you are reading a recipe online, Copilot is able to list out the ingredients or walk you through each step. If you’re looking at a job posting, it’s able to offer tips or walk you through an interview. This is helpful to get the information you need without having to click over and re-search.
However, Microsoft does not recommend the use of the feature to review sensitive documents, including résumés. It’s better to verify them by hand to avoid errors or privacy violations.
Free Features vs. Pro Access
Copilot Vision’s basic version at no cost is offered to every Edge user. It comes with voice interaction and screen scanning. When you activate the feature, the browser visually signals and beeps. It lets you know it’s listening. The assistant is turned off when the browser is closed or when you close the session.
For higher-end functionality, Copilot Pro can be upgraded to by users. Copilot Pro is not only available within Edge but also within apps like Photoshop, video editing, and even videogames like Minecraft. It possesses more advanced integration and more AI-enabled tools.
A New Way to Browse
Copilot Vision speeds up and streamlines web browsing. It turns your screen into an interactive space where you can ask for help, get answers, or navigate yourself—just with voice.
It’s available to use. You just need Microsoft Edge. Have you tried it yet? Leave your feedback!
