Microsoft Edge’s AI-powered Copilot has received a significant update, simplifying the process of sharing your AI chat conversations. As reported by MSPowerUser, a new share button within Edge Copilot now generates shareable links, allowing you to easily distribute your AI-powered discussions. This update also expands the availability of the “Think Deeper” feature to all users, enhancing the depth and reasoning behind Copilot’s responses.
New share link features for Copilot in Edge
This new sharing functionality brings Edge Copilot more in line with the experience offered on Microsoft’s Copilot website and mobile applications. Similar to ChatGPT’s web search, copilot.microsoft.com allows users to interact with the AI without requiring an account. While the web version currently lacks the chat sharing capability found in Edge’s sidebar, it’s anticipated that this feature will be implemented soon.
Microsoft continues to enhance the user experience by extending the “Think Deeper” feature beyond Copilot Pro subscribers, making it accessible to everyone. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman highlighted this expansion on X, describing the feature as “truly magical”.
“Think Deeper” trains the AI to “think before it speaks,” providing more sophisticated reasoning for various tasks. This includes career advice, problem-solving, STEM-related activities like coding, complex mathematical problems, and more. While responses may take slightly longer (approximately 30 seconds, according to Microsoft), the enhanced depth of analysis is a worthwhile trade-off. Powered by OpenAI’s o1 model, this powerful feature is now available to all users, free of charge.
Beyond these recent updates, Microsoft has been actively improving Copilot since last year. Design updates for Windows 10, 11, and mobile platforms have been implemented, alongside the introduction of Copilot Voice and Copilot Vision. It remains to be seen which other premium features will eventually become available to all users.
In conclusion, Microsoft’s continuous efforts to enhance Edge Copilot demonstrate a commitment to providing a valuable and accessible AI-powered browsing experience. The addition of chat sharing and the widespread availability of “Think Deeper” empower users to leverage AI assistance more effectively and share insights seamlessly.
