Microsoft’s Copilot Fall Update pushes Edge further from “browser plus AI” toward a single, integrated AI-powered browser designed to reason across tabs, perform multi-step web tasks, and remember project context — and it ships two headline features that will change how many people use the web...

Microsoft’s latest push to make the browser feel less like a passive tool and more like a thinking partner arrives in Edge as Copilot Mode, and at the center of that pitch is a feature called Journeys — a contextual memory layer that groups past browsing activity into task-focused projects so...

Microsoft’s latest Copilot refresh puts a deliberately playful face on Windows 11 AI: an animated avatar called Mico that appears in Copilot’s voice mode, changes color and shape to signal listening or thinking, and is explicitly designed as an optional, friendlier way to make voice-first...

Microsoft’s latest Copilot update is a clear attempt to move the conversation around AI assistants from novelty to utility — delivering a broad package of features that stitch together collaboration, browser-level agency, and personalization while leaning heavily on explicit consent and privacy...
