About this tag
The cloud browser tag on WindowsForum covers Microsoft Copilot Actions, an experimental AI agent that operates a live, cloud-based browser to perform real web tasks like booking reservations. Discussions highlight its ability to navigate sites, fill forms, and click buttons autonomously, but also note limitations such as struggles with web defenses, frequent user intervention, and a controlled-experiment feel.
