Copilot on Android gets image-reading smarts
The Android app version of Microsoft’s web browser, Edge, has received an optional upgrade with better Copilot support for images, amongst other new features.
Windows Copilot, which Microsoft markets as a revolutionary general purpose digital assistant powered by artificial intelligence (AI), has been integrated in the Edge browser both on desktop and on Android smartphones and tablets for a while now. Copilot and the Edge browser in Windows 11 have recently gotten another image-related upgrade with users now being able to take a screenshot selection of their screen and talk to Copilot or Edge about it.
The Edge app on Android has now been given new optional Copilot capabilities as well — you can “Ask Copilot” about an image while using the browser and for Copilot to “Generate AI Images”. Microsoft has given this new feature development the moniker “Mobile Copilot Chat with Images” for now.Boosting Edge
Copilot’s availability in the Edge browser isn’t just limited to Android devices, being available on iOS devices as well. However, on Android, Edge can summarize videos using fast mode and can summarize PDF files.
