Microsoft's Edge just got a major AI makeover — meet Copilot Mode
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Microsoft is reimagining web browsing with Copilot Mode. Similar to OpenAI and Perplexity, this experimental new AI-powered mode in Edge understands your tabs, takes voice commands and even plans future tasks. Now available on Windows and Mac, Copilot Mode is completely free if you opt in. Smarter browsing With Copilot Mode turned on, Edge replaces your new‑tab page with a simplified layout centered around a single input box, combining search, chat and navigation. Once enabled, Copilot can access all your open tabs (with your permission) and use that context to answer questions or compare information without flipping between pages. For instance, if you're researching restuarant options across several tabs, you can now ask Copilot to identify the soonest availability, most affordable choice or closest location, and it takes care of everything for you. Voice and task-driven assistants Starting today, voice control is live. Users can now talk to Copilot and ask their queries that way instead of typing. Soon, Microsoft plans to allow Copilot to access browsing history and credentials (with your consent) to do things like book tickets or manage errands, truly acting on your behalf, which is similar to what ChatGPT Agent is currently doing. Copilot can now compare price options (like Google AI), offer suggestions and make reservations. However, approving payment details manually is still something users need to do (thankfully). Stay focused without losing your place Copilot slips into the sidebar or new tab, allowing you to check summaries, translate content, convert units or ask questions without losing access to the original page. For tab hoarders like me, I expect this to help with productivity as it keeps distractions down and work flow up. Designed with privacy and optionality in mind For those feeling skeptical about a broswer takeover, rest assured that Copilot Mode is fully optional. Users enable it manually and can disable it anytime. When active, Microsoft makes it clear whenever Copilot is listening, viewing your tabs or accessing data. All data is handled under Microsoft's privacy standards and only used with your explicit permission. And while usage limits apply, the feature is free for now. Microsoft hasn't yet confirmed if it will join a subscription tier later. Copilot-guided browsing journeys on the horizon Microsoft says forthcoming updates will let Copilot identify ongoing browsing themes and surface helpful suggestions and next steps. Whether you're planning a trip or researching a project, Copilot Mode promises to track the thread of your tasks. The goal of this new feature is to proactively help users stay productive while always offering clear visual cues and only if you opt in. Bottom line With AI-integrated browsers like Google AI, Comet, and others already in motion, Microsoft's upgrade places Edge back in the spotlight with other AI giants. If you're curious about how AI can change web browsing for planning, research or multitasking, this AI browser is worth a try. Copilot Mode trials are simple to enable, reversible and safe. And for the time it's free, it's worth seeing if AI-assisted browsing accelerates your workflow. More from Tom's Guide ChatGPT-5 launch expected soon — here's everything we know so far I tested ChatGPT Agent for a week — the good, the bad and the 'wait, it did what?' Here's why you shouldn't use ChatGPT as your therapist — according to Sam Altman

Dreamspace Launches AI App Builder to Empower Creators in the AI Economy
Dreamspace allows anyone to deploy and monetize AI-generated apps onchain with Space and Time, Base, and M12, Microsoft's Venture Fund Dreamspace, an AI app builder that enables non-technical creators to build an online business with natural language, launched public access today. Built on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI, Space and Time, and Base, Dreamspace simplifies app development by allowing users to generate fully functional applications and smart contracts without writing code, dramatically reducing the time and technical barriers associated with building onchain. With Dreamspace, anyone can generate an application, monetize it with blockchain technology, and deploy it to a community of users. Space and Time provides the database that powers the Dreamspace platform and its apps, grants to kickstart creators, and a community of AI-forward users that are eager to interact with the apps generated on the platform. 'While the economy of the last decade has been driven largely by businesses created by developers, we believe business in the AI economy will be driven by creators. By bringing together Space and Time's verifiable database, Base's onchain scale, and Microsoft's AI tools, Dreamspace gives creators everything they need to build, ship, and own the next generation of apps,' said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs, the original developers of Space and Time. Dreamspace utilizes Microsoft Azure and Azure OpenAI solutions to enhance its performance and scalability. M12, Microsoft's Venture Fund, led a $20M funding round for Space and Time in 2022. 'We're seeing a new wave of platforms where AI-native tooling, blockchain infrastructure, and creator-driven design converge," said Michael Stewart, Managing Partner at M12, Microsoft's Venture Fund."Dreamspace lowers the barrier to creation and distribution for a whole new class of builders – one that doesn't need to know how to code to bring an idea to life. At M12, we're excited about the shift toward AI-native systems and believe Dreamspace is tapping into the future of how apps are built, monetized, and scaled." Dreamspace is built on Base, an onchain open stack incubating at Coinbase, which allows creators to publish and monetize their apps. With low fees of less than one cent, fast transactions of less than one second, and full EVM compatibility, Base makes it easy to launch onchain businesses and get paid using crypto, whether through tips, token-gated access, or custom smart contract logic. 'We're building Base as an open stack for the global economy that empowers anyone to build and create onchain,' said Luca Curran, Head of AI, Base Ecosystem. 'Dreamspace is an exciting example of what's possible when you combine onchain with AI. You don't need to be a developer or an engineer to bring an idea to reality - anyone can unlock their creativity to build an app. Expanding this possibility to anyone, anywhere will help us bring the world onchain.' Dreamspace is available for public use in beta at About Space and Time Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data, which enables smart contracts to trustlessly access and compute over data from any chain or source. Powered by Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK coprocessor, Space and Time empowers developers to build more intelligent, data-rich applications with verifiable data.

Microsoft is getting ready to return to the office
Microsoft originally encouraged its employees to work from home amid the coronavirus outbreak in 2020. This new flexible working arrangement then became an official 'hybrid workplace' policy several months after the pandemic began, allowing managers to approve permanent remote work. Now that the pandemic has settled into endemicity, Microsoft wants employees to return to the office. And if some quit in response, well, that's probably exactly what Microsoft is expecting. Much like Amazon or Google before it, Microsoft is preparing a mandatory return-to-office policy, according to sources familiar with the company's plans. Rumors of the return-to-office policy first emerged a few weeks ago internally at Microsoft, leading to plenty of speculation among employees. A recent Experiences + Devices all-hands call revealed that Microsoft's senior leadership team is working on 'some guidance' that will be announced to employees in the coming weeks. I understand that Microsoft is preparing to announce a mandatory return to office of three days a week. The policy will apply to those who live within 50 miles of Microsoft's Redmond campus, and some teams at Microsoft may even return for four or five days. Those individual team decisions will be made by executive vice presidents, and I understand that employees will also be able to apply for exceptions. More than half of Microsoft's 228,000 employees are in the US, and most of that 125,000 are located near the company's Redmond campus just outside of Seattle, so this policy will affect a lot of Microsoft employees. Business Insider first reported the rumors of a return-to-office policy last week, and I understand it will be announced in September and then implemented in late January. On that same Experiences + Devices all-hands call, Microsoft said that employees who spend three or four days in the office have higher Thriving Scores — a metric that measures employee well-being. Microsoft has been increasingly integrating the Thrive Global tool into Microsoft Teams, and using it to gauge how employees are feeling through questionnaires. Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Microsoft's cloud and AI group, told employees last year that the company wasn't changing its return-to-office policy unless productivity dropped. Microsoft has continued to post impressive earnings results over the past five years, even driving the company to a $3 trillion market cap recently — so productivity clearly hasn't been a huge issue. I've spoken to dozens of Microsoft employees in recent weeks about the upcoming return-to-office policy, and there's a real split of opinion on it. Some employees are concerned about a mandatory return, especially given the local road traffic problems and the amount of time lost in travel. Others are worried about Microsoft not having enough space for everyone to return at the same time, despite the company's $5 billion headquarters expansion. Microsoft has vacated lots of spaces in Bellevue in recent years, including the 27-story City Center building, the two Bravern office towers, and the Advanta campus. It has also given up space in Redmond, in efforts to cut the costs associated with office space that isn't being used as regularly anymore. Microsoft's campus renovation includes 17 new buildings to replace 12 old buildings and hold 8,000 additional employees. Seven buildings are now open, with others under construction or on hold. It's still not clear when Microsoft will complete its sprawling campus overhaul, as the company hasn't put a firm end date on construction. This potential lack of space is already being felt by some employees who are using the office space regularly. Some teams have desks assigned to individuals, and others are hot-desking. One source tells me there often aren't enough focus rooms for online meetings and some rooms aren't large enough for bigger meetings. In some buildings, Microsoft has been squeezing in so many employees that they've run out of power, I'm told. Despite this, I understand Microsoft is aiming to provide dedicated desks to support employees returning for three days a week. Other Redmond employees welcome the return-to-office policy, having spent the past few years working in vacant offices with empty cafeterias or half-empty connector buses around campus. I visit Microsoft's campus regularly every year for product briefings and launch events, and it's been eerily quiet recently — particularly with the empty, unfinished buildings. It's clear to me from talking to Microsoft employees that most will agree that this could be seen as a type of stealth layoff, months after around 15,000 roles were cut. Morale is already at an all-time low inside Microsoft, and if you're not happy about returning to the office three days a week and you can't get an exception, then that makes it difficult to continue at the company. It also seems like an easy way for Microsoft's management teams to weed out 'rest and vest' employees that are coasting along. Microsoft's return-to-office policy could also shape remote or hybrid working for other companies. Microsoft made a big deal about its hybrid workplace when it started reopening its headquarters, and it also marketed Microsoft Teams on the basis of being a tool that could help with the tension of meetings that include remote and in-person attendees. Before AI became Microsoft's new focus, it even held a special 'Windows Powers the Future of Hybrid Work' event. A lot of companies followed Microsoft's lead on remote work, and they may now be looking at its mandatory three-day return and thinking it's a tacit admission that Teams doesn't always work for everyone — especially if you're a junior employee and you need to get face-to-face time with colleagues. Microsoft isn't going quite as far as Amazon's full return, or Google's policy to force some remote workers to come back three days a week or lose their jobs, but it may well help revise a standard that many companies are already following. I'm heading to Germany next week for Gamescom, so if you're at the show please say hello. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the new Xbox Ally handheld devices, and I'll have plenty of impressions to share soon. I'm always keen to hear from readers, so please drop a comment here, or you can reach me at [email protected] if you want to discuss anything else.
