We're talking about agentic browsers for the third time in a row on everyday AI. But luckily, Microsoft at their co-pilot fall release event unleashed a whole lot more aside from just some new agentic features inside of their edge browser. So many new AI. features that we're actually going to have to break them down by category. That's because Microsoft released dozens of new AI updates from personalization to group chat, to vision to, well, you guessed it, new agented capabilities inside of their edge browser. So today we're going to be going over Microsoft's kind of surprise AI updates,

breaking them down into five categories of new AI tools, features, and use. All right, let's get straight into it. Welcome to Everyday AI. My name's Jordan Wilson, and this is for you. If you're new here, Everyday AI is a daily live stream, podcast, and free daily newsletter, helping everyday business leaders like you and me, not just keep up with AI because it's a lot, but how we can make sense of it to grow our companies and to grow our career. So if that's what you're trying to do, it starts here, the unedited live stream podcast newsletter.

But if you want to take it to the next level, go to our website, your EverydayaI.com. there make sure to sign up for the free daily newsletter we're going to be recapping the highlights from today's show so maybe you're running on the treadmill and you missed update number 13 or whatever i'm going to be rattling off don't worry it's going to be in the newsletter as well as all of today's a i breaking news yeah you want to be the smartest person in ai in your company right well everyday i that's your cheat code uh so by the end of today's show you're going to get the too long didn't read or didn't watch version of microsoft Microsoft's announcement because they were long and there was a lot of them.

I'm going to, you'll see how Microsoft is safely playing, follow the leader with AI. And I don't think that's a bad strategy necessarily. And you'll understand the most impactful new AI features and most importantly, how to actually use them. So I'm just going to go through the features right now. All right, very quick. And then we're going to break them down and kind of going over these by categories. So we have our core AI companion features. That is the new MECO co-pilot groups and Imagine.

Then we have memory and personalization. And these, FYI, these are my category. So if you're trying to look these categories up, I just put them in these categories. So then we have our memory and personalization updates. That's persistent long-term memory, past conversations, reference, and forget controls, and the new real talk mode, which I'm kind of looking forward to that one. Then our next category, we have connectivity and integration. So connectors and proactive actions.

Then we have Microsoft Edge, the new copilot mode. That kind of new. Some things are new. Some things are technically old and getting repackaged, but a lot of new agenic features in co-pilot mode, including copilot actions in limited preview, journeys, and voice-only, navigation, and tab reasoning. Then we have our Windows 11 integration features,

including Hey, co-pilot Wakeward, the co-pilot vision, and the new co-pilot home and direct file opening and summarization. All right. That was a lot. And do some of these things sound familiar? Yes. Well, if you read our newsletter every day, you'll know that some of these things have been rolling out over the past few days or a few weeks. And sometimes I am lucky enough to get early access to some of these features. so I always share them when I can.

So you may have already heard me talk about these. But yes, some have been released over the past a couple of days, a couple of weeks, but some of them are brand new. But if the concepts sound familiar, that's because Microsoft has taken kind of a follow-the-leaders AI approach, which when you think about their positioning, I don't think is necessarily a bad thing, right? For the most part, Microsoft uses Open AI's models. They just started recently using Anthropics Clawed models with some of their new agent features that they rolled out about a month ago. Yet, they're not really innovating, right? Even though they probably have the most enterprise customers of any company out there, although I do think Google and OpenAI are giving them a run for their money.

But I think Microsoft has just safely been kind of copying other popular. features in AI modes, which, again, I don't think is a bad thing. So things like connectors, some of these agentic browsing features that they just announced this week, long-term memory, personalization, vision, actions, or agentic actions. So many of these aren't new, right? Which is what Microsoft has actually done a lot, right? They kind of copied some features from Google's notebook LM. but there are a couple of things we're going to be going over today that I think are actually unique, right?

Some of these last couple of Microsoft events where they announce some of these AI features, a lot of it just seems like replays, but there are two or three that I'm actually really excited about. So I'll tell you those as we get to them. So now let's get into a little bit more detail on these new features, sorted by category. Let's start with probably the one that's grabbing headlines, but just in a cheeky way, not anything that I think will ultimately be useful, at least not for, I think, most serious business professionals.

And that is Miko. Yeah, they reincarnated Clippy, the AI version. So Miko is an animated avatar that is enabled when you use copilot voice mode, and it has real-time expression, shape, and color changes. And there is a built-in Clippy Easter egg. So if you click Miko enough eventually, it reveals itself as clipy. Yay, fun. And this primarily just appears right now in voice sessions and learn live.

And the rollout began today in the U.S. And other markets are to follow. So yeah, the rollouts are going to be different. You know, unfortunately, I think with Microsoft and Google, just because of the technicality and security and layers, right, sometimes feature. really get rolled out in weird or kind of extended periods, right, where, you know, something with Open AI, an Anthropic, because they don't have entire ecosystems and, you know, they didn't have hundreds of millions of users before their AI products.

It's a little easier for them to ship all these things. So some of these Microsoft things, if you're hearing them, you're like, oh, this is great. Well, number one, you're probably going to have to go up the IT ladder to fix. out how the heck can we get these enabled? Do I have the right security and permissions, depending on what some of these are? But for MECO, that one should be a little easier. But utility wise, meh.

All right, here's one of the ones that is actually unique and that I think could actually get people to start liking and using Microsoft Copilot again, right? Let's be honest. Copilot is usually not anyone's favorite AI chatbot. They were one of the ones. the first enterprise players. Yet, I think in terms of user satisfaction, you know, even when I'm out at conferences,

it doesn't seem like co-pilots at the top. But maybe some of these features could change that. And co-pilot groups is one that I'm looking at. This is actually, truly unique. So there are kind of workarounds to do this in other systems. So like as an example, in chat, GPT, you can have multiple people working in the same chat. However, if it started as employee number one, who shares it with other employees and then employee number two starts talking, it actually forks it and makes a copy.

So it's not truly collaborative, but with co-pilot groups, this is actually really cool. So this is a link-based shared co-pilot chat where up to 32 participants can join the same AI session. If this is anything like my text messages, I don't know if I would want to be a part. of this mini co-pilot groups, but especially for smaller teams or if you're not, you know, if you don't get added to, you know, 200 different, you know, co-pilot group chats. This is actually some, I would say, groundbreaking utility, right? I think it was kind of like weird timing.

The generative AI boom, you know, happened kind of, you know, mid or mid to late kind of pandemic time, right, where a lot of companies were still, you know, work from home or, you know, transitioning back to, you know, work in the office. So I think so much of work became siloed because you still have so many remote employees, hybrid employees now that maybe five years ago didn't exist. But now, you know, so many people are doing their quote unquote AI work by themselves. So this to me, I'm sure there's, there's technical reasons that my friends at Microsoft will tell me why, but I can't believe that no one has done this yet. So, I mean, we'll obviously see how well received it is, but I think that people really want this. So right now, co-pilot facilitates.

There's thread summarization, poll, vote, tallies, and automatic task splitting. And this is designed for real-time group work within co-pilot. So everything from planning, co-writing, brainstorming, et cetera, and also privacy and memory, behavior is adjusted in groups. So, yeah, Yeah, we're going to talk a little bit more, but because there's some new long-term memory features in co-pilot. So those are not going to show up in these kind of group chats. So I'm excited about this one. This, I think, is enough for those companies that were on the fence about going all in on co-pilot or looking at something like ChatGabit. This alone, just because we haven't seen this yet, which I can't believe we haven't seen this in Google Gemini or Chat Chub.

this is a great feature. Next, imagine. This is essentially a gallery that lets teams share, different variants that they've created, export chosen assets. It's essentially a creative hub that lives inside of co-pilot for generating, browsing, liking, and remixing AI images.

So again, we've seen this in a lot of other places. Nothing truly special, I wouldn't say. Next, let's go to our memory and personalization. category. Finally, yeah, I think a lot of people have been waiting for this in co-pilot. Again, I hear this so often. Like, organizations need to do a better job. I'm just going to call a spade, spade, y'all. Organizations need to do a better job of learning, development, and literally having co-pilot teams within their organization that can answer questions because I will say 90% of questions that I hear about co-pilot and I hear a lot because I talk AI every single day

is, oh, I saw this feature in co-pilot, but I don't have access. Or, you know, I'm trying to use this mode in co-pilot, but I don't have that feature. You know, I want to build my own agents, but we don't have that, right? So, yeah, there's so many things that in co-pilot just aren't clicking because of the user permissions, access all of these things. And this is one thing I think people are going to want, but let's see if people can actually get a roll about persistent user controlled long-term memory. This is what turns, you know, chatbots from, oh, fun to, oh, this is useful, right? When I can actually remember things. Also,

side note, Anthropic did just roll this out for Claude users. So Claude and co-pilot were super behind Chad, TBT, and Gemini in this regard. So this stores users, facts, preferences, and project context across sessions, which, let's be honest, depending on how you use co-pilot, this might not be helpful. If you just use it for just your job and nothing else, it will be extremely helpful. If you're a power user of most LLMs like me, not so much. But I do think for co-pilot, for the most part, people are primarily using co-pilot a little bit more for just work-related purposes because they're like, hey, this is the AI that are,

you know, company gives us. So maybe there's less mixing between different, you know, oh, I'm using this for, you know, this client, this job, this personal project. So maybe there's less mixture or less fewer lines to cross with co-pilot. So this also has a user dashboard to view, edit, and delete shared memories and also memory updates signal when added. And here we go. You do have the enterprise and tenant governance that applies for Microsoft 365.

deployments. All right. Next, we have the past conversation references and the conversational for Git controls. So co-pilot can reference prior chats and resume context without repeating earlier details. So this is kind of like similar to in chat chbt, how you can reference past chats, which is technically different than memory, which is also different than context window, right? Technically three different things, all kind of play into each other. But this is a version of remembering your chat history, but being able to resume. So kind of like a blending of, if you're familiar with the features inside of chat, Cheptie, kind of a blending of memory and referencing past chats.

But this is actually referencing prior chats and resuming the context without repeating earlier details. So I'll be interested to see how this impacts the traditional context window. I think it might eat through it pretty quickly. but we'll wait and see what actually happens once users start leveraging this feature. Users can also instruct co-pilot to forget specific items via conversational commands, which is nice, right? So it's similar to managing memory, but just being like, yo, forget that.

I didn't mean to say that. Oh, that was private. Don't. You know, I don't want this, you know, to even come up in my own chat later. And you do also have session and privacy controls that govern when past, references are used, especially in groups. Like I said, that's not going to follow in. All right.

Next, this is a nice one, right? So this is similar to chat chivity, rolled out these different kind of personalities. So I would say this is more of a personality that Microsoft is rolling out called real talk, something to kind of challenge you. So this is more of a conversational style that you can enable inside of co-pilot that respectfully pushes you back. So no more. You're absolutely right.

Right. Yeah, if you use any large language model, and especially if you look at the chain of thought summaries, you know, you're absolutely right is the most annoying thing. And just large language models in general are so, you know, just they're yes men. You know, they just sycophantic, just always, you know, pumping you up. So this mode is specifically to fight against that. And this is a user selectable mode. So this isn't on by default. You select this mode. And it's intended to reduce sycophantic responses and encourage critical thinking. And it's available as an opt-in conversational setting.

So right now, it's starting in the US first. All right. Before we get going, we still have a couple more categories, a lot more features. We're going to go through them quick. Don't worry. But first, a quick word from our sponsors. This podcast is supported by Google. Hey folks, Stephen Johnson here, co-founder of NotebookLM.

As an author, I've always been obsessed with how software could help organize ideas and make connections. So we built NotebookLM as an AI-first tool for anyone trying to make sense of complex information. Upload your documents and NotebookLM instantly becomes your personal expert, uncovering insights and helping you brainstorm. Try it at notebooklm.com. All right. Speaking of connections, our next group of kind of new features is connectivity and integration. All right. So let's talk about what we have here.

Well, connectors in general. Yes, if you follow me on Twitter, I saw this pop up in my co-pilot account two days ago with no announcement at all from Microsoft. And I shared about it. And we did put it in our newsletter. And I think it's actually pretty noteworthy that Microsoft is bringing these connectors in to OneDrive, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar. And you know what? I probably should have started the show like this because if you're halfway through

and you're trying to find all these things and you're like weight, right, there's a difference between Microsoft 365 copilot and Microsoft co-pilot. So so many of these new features, as far as I know, until I get to the more of the Windows base, a lot of them, I believe, are going to be rolling out in Microsoft co-pilot. So you might not be getting all of these within your organization. Again, these updates are fresh. So we will be checking back in the next couple of days to see kind of where these rollouts are or aren't headed. But connectors, super, super helpful.

I already have this in my co-pilot account. And what I like and what I was kind of surprised by, all these companies are playing nice with each other, right? When it comes to connectors, because my, Microsoft has connectors for Google, right, with Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar. So I already connected all of my Google accounts in my co-pilot account, which is really nice. So this is Oath-based opt-in. So like you would opt-in for just about anything, right? You sign in once and then co-pilot is going to have access to all that.

And essentially, you can dynamically grab that information in your connectors. Obviously, they have the Microsoft versions as well, OneDrive Outlook, et cetera. So this enables unified natural language query spanning across Microsoft and Google ecosystems. And right now, the availability is staged by market and platform per their rollout notes. So, yeah, like I said, I got access to this a couple of days ago, even before there was an announcement. So it was kind of like a pre-rollout, it looks like, and it might still be a couple of weeks until most people see these new connectors inside copilot online. Next, proactive actions.

So this is going to be rolling out in preview and the deep research on the Microsoft 365 side. So co-pilot will suggest next steps and timely insights during extended research sessions, which is really helpful, right? Because sometimes after you do these deep research, it's just like, okay, well, now I'm staring at this giant, you know, hopefully helpful, you know, 10, 15 page document. So these proactive actions,

if they are, helpful, will be, I think, a much needed insight. Because sometimes when you're staring at these, like, deep research reports, you almost get like, ah, right? Hey, hey, big AI labs.

I know there's a couple, of you listening right now. Give people an option with deep research, right? Even with prompting, right? You can say, hey, be short. You know, yeah, I need you to research something for five, 10, 15 minutes. But so often you're just left with this huge wall of text, even when you're trying to prompt around it and just say, hey, give me bullet points or I only need one page. So I like this proactive actions in co-pilot that come up after to hopefully encourage you to take action on all of. of this hopefully helpful information.

So this functions as a proactive assistance. It proposes follow-ups, reading lists, or draft outputs. And this is being released as a preview feature for Microsoft 365 subscribers. All right. Here we go. We finally got to Microsoft Edge, agentic browsing. Yay. Y'all, I don't know what happened.

I don't know how this week became agentic browser week, right? Technically, perplexities, Comet became generally available in free to everyone a couple of weeks ago, but then it's been everyone. So, Dia just came out with some new features in their Agenic browser and the DIA browser. Obviously, the big Agenic headline of the week was Open AI releasing their Atlas browser, Agentic for everyone for free. Google actually slid via some release notes that hardly no one saw

slid some new updates to Chrome, some agentic ones, nothing big, but a couple. And then we got a ton of new Microsoft Edge agentic updates inside of copilot mode. So the UIUX, let me be honest. With copilot mode, I'm not a fan. It's like not because it's not the correct way, just because it's the exact opposite of everyone else.

So the way that copilot mode is rolling it out is the way that it should. Essentially, if you enable actions and if you enable all of these AI features, you don't always have to enable them on the chat side, right? So you essentially have settings in copilot mode. So, you know, hey, do you want vision? Do you want these other AI features in copilot mode? And you can toggle them on yes or no, like actions, right? But you can run the same exact prompt twice.

There's no actions button, and sometimes it will take the actions, and sometimes it won't. Whereas with other agentic browsers, well, you're going to usually click a button, like in the new Atlas, you click agent mode inside Open AIs. So I'm not a fan with the implementation of some of these more agentic features in co-pilot. However, the actual utility I love. So let's talk about some of the newer features. And some of these are a little older. Some of these have been, you know, rolled out.

Actually, for months, I did get early access to Vision and some of these other agenic features, but they're much wider rollout. And there's some new, new features that were just announced. So let's talk about what we have. So we have agentic browsing tasks that can execute multi-step web actions. So that's booking, you know, unsubscribing. from emails, filling out forms, those things. You can also execute actions locally in Edge with user confirmation for sensitive steps.

So right now, this is in the US First with a limited preview status with staged availability. So it's going to be tiered out. All right. The next one, which this kind of exists, but kind of doesn't. And I might like it. We'll see. So this is journeys. Okay, so this is kind of grouping together automatically.

Copilot will automatically organize different actions, different chats, different tabs, different sessions that you've taken inside copilot into these topic-based journeys that you can then resume later. So it's almost like a way, you know, if you're using a large language model, you know, using some agentic features, using some normal features, just, you know, chats. And then it's going to say, hey, you've been doing a lot of vacation planning or it seems like you're, you know, you're working on a big internal board presentation. So it's automatically going to put those things together just for easier grouping. Then it also provides a summary,

suggested next steps, which is helpful. A lot of times, I'm using different modes of like chat TBT or Gemini for the same project. And in some instances, I'm like, wait, where did I end up in that agent mode? Or where did I end up in that canvas? And I know I had a normal chat going as well. And I had another chat where I was flipping between all these modes. Like, where did I end up? Right. So this is nice that it automatically groups them together. And it also gives you suggested next steps based on that.

So technically, this one seems difficult to implement, especially if you're using copilot for a ton of very related use cases. Because I would venture to say that sometimes it's going to automatically group these things together as journeys that you don't want grouped together. That's the like, I think about. the line of work that I do. And I can see how this could actually be very confusing. So maybe it depends on the complexity and the crossover and in the type of work that you do. But if your work is very siloed or if there's not a lot of gray area, the type of work, right, if you're not working across a lot of clients, maybe it's great.

Also, this does require opt-in and permission access to your browsing history because, yes, this also pulls in your browsing history inside of Edge. All right, then here's some of the newer features. So hands-free voice browsing commands. Yes. Yeah, this is one of those ones. I might end up doing a demo on this because I think it's pretty cool, right? So I have been playing around.

They haven't, it hasn't been out long enough yet. And like I said, these co-pilot rollouts sometimes are just so tiered. And it's like, oh, I had some of these features, you know, two weeks ago, some of these features a month ago, and I'm not sure even if I have all of these features, right? So you do have the hands-free browsing, which is really cool, natural voice commands. So co-pilot can reason also across multiple tabs, right? So you can have five tabs open. Let's say you're, I don't know, looking, trying to find a new CRM. And you have, you know, the five sales pages open for five different CRMs. You can ask co-pilot say, hey, across all

different tabs, you know, which one is going to be best for medical sales, right? And it's going to go through and look at all those tabs. Or you can use the at key and just talk to three of the five tabs. So that's really cool. Also, it's designed to turn edge into a multi-context research workspace. All right. So next, we have our Hey, co-pilot Wake Word. All right.

So this one, they're going after series. They're going after Alexa, right? All these smart AI assistance that we've had for like a decade that are definitely not smart. So we'll see if, hey, co-pilot can maybe break in to that. You know, we've heard and oh, we're getting a smart Siri on iPhones for like a year. It hasn't happened. All there's been is lawsuits for them promising that and not delivering it. Amazon Alexa has started to.

roll out. They're smarter, large language model powered version, partnered with Anthropic, but I think like three people in the world have it. Not actually three people, but I literally don't know anyone. So maybe, maybe we'll see. Maybe Microsoft is going to find a niche here with Hey, co-pilot if it works well. So what this is, it's an on-device wake word and it triggers copilot voice user interface when the PC is unlocked. There's also a local buffer or processing until it's wake activation for privacy, and that's an opt-in setting. And this enables hands-free queries across web,

across apps when enabled. So being able to work with your different apps, pretty cool, right? Hey, like, hey, co-pilot, check my Outlook calendar. Hey, co-pilot, can you change, you know, reorder the slides in this PowerPoint. So, again, newer feature, not sure of all the use cases, and capabilities and limitations,

but being able to work locally on your PC and being able to work across apps seems to me like this could be something if it works well. And co-pilot has a pretty decent voice mode. I won't say it's as good as Open AIs because it's actually based on their technology. So Open AIs is a little better. It's not as good as Google, Gemini's Live.

But it's close, right? It's not like in a different stratosphere than those. So I think this could be a very popular feature. Then co-pilot vision, love this. And this is technically, I do think co-pilot was one of the first big AI labs to bring this out. So, or big tech companies, I guess they're big AI lab, right? So this is session permissions that allow co-pilot to analyze the visible screen content and give step-by-step guidance.

I actually got access to this one pretty early, like nine months ago, did a couple demos on our YouTube channel. It's super helpful. And the thing that I really like about this is it's not just what's on your screen, right? So it can technically see the entire webpage and understand context on the web page as well. There's also visual indicators that show when vision is active and it's not persistent across sessions. I do believe it shows a goldish yellow highlight. when you're using vision mode.

And this is used for contextual tasks. So as an example, highlighting UI elements, guided workflows, et cetera. So if you're trying to learn something on a page, vision is great. If you're trying to shop for something, compare different products.

And you're like, hey, which one's best for my business? Here's what my business is about. There's 50 different products on this page. There's 20 different services, right? So much information. You know,

maybe you don't even want to scroll through and read it all. Yes, this is where, you know, having, you know, the built-in co-pilot chat and it understands and you can type to it, but it's also pretty cool to just be able to speak with it and for it to visually be able to see, understand, and navigate around. Then, last but not least, for our PC people, a dedicated new co-pilot home and direct file opening and summarization user experience.

So this is a dedicated co-pilot home screen to resume recent files, apps, and conversations. So this is essentially think of it like this, a dynamic dashboard or home screen that brings in all of your most recent co-pilot conversations, files, apps, etc. But with AI at the core. There's also direct file interaction. You can open and summarize documents from this new. co-pilot home interface, which is pretty cool, right? So especially if you're someone that's always going into the same three folders or always working, you know, with the same couple of files, right?

Maybe you're spending a lot of time in the same PowerPoint or a lot of time in the same, you know, Excel sheets. It's going to be great for people like that.
