Microsoft’s Copilot Vision feature is now available for free to all Edge users, allowing the AI tool to analyze and summarize web pages. The feature was announced by Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, on Wednesday in a Bluesky post.
Copilot Vision can scan and analyze the current web page in Edge, provide a summary of the information, and answer questions about the content. Users can ask Copilot to recommend products on Amazon, guide them through a recipe on a cooking page, or offer advice on crafting a cover letter for a job listing.
The feature is compatible with most websites, except those containing harmful or adult content. Microsoft has implemented measures to address privacy concerns, including not logging or storing user requests, images, or page content. Only Copilot’s responses are logged to monitor for unsafe conversations, and all data is deleted after the session ends.
To use Copilot Vision, users need to be signed in to Edge with a Microsoft account and follow the activation prompts. However, some users, including the author and a writer at The Verge, have reported issues with the feature, encountering a “One moment…” message that prevents activation.
Despite the reported glitches, Copilot Vision is available for Edge users to try. Microsoft has not yet addressed the issue, but it is expected to be resolved as the tool becomes more widely available.
