This year, Microsoft added CoPilot, its AI assistant, to many of its services, including Edge, whose desktop version contains the full version of Copilot, while users face a serious lack of functionality.
Microsoft now wants to bridge the Copilot gap between desktop and mobile versions of its Edge browser with a major update that will benefit Android and iOS users.
The mobile version of Edge now offers comprehensive support for the Copilot AI Assistant.
The update does not contain any functionality that cannot be found in other versions of Copilot, but it brings the mobile version of the Edge browser into harmony with the desktop version.
If you now open a PDF in EDGE and create text aliasing and AI images using the Dall-E 3 model, you can now ask Copilot to summarize them.
In the Edge Mobile browser, Copilot can also convert long PDF documents into short summaries or list bullets.
You can also interact with different parts of PDF files, and the new update improves context-related queries using the GPT-4 Turbo model.
If you watch a video on YouTube, you can ask Copilot to summarize the video. However, this function only works if texts or subtitles are available, as Copilot summarizes text in the mobile edge browser and not video images.
Videos are limited to pre-processed videos or YouTube content with subtitles. Although Microsoft says the function should work with most YouTube content, you can't group all videos.
Ai Assistant Copilot now supports an extension in the Edge Mobile browser so you can deactivate Bing's search engine functionality and use it as a standalone chat like ChatGPT.
When it comes to quickly deactivating search and interaction, Copilot is as good as ChatGPT, although it provides outdated information on request.
There are several third-party add-ons, Microsoft is testing more to help it with Copilot AI and intends to introduce GPT in Bing soon.
