Edge Shuts Copilot Mode as AI Features Go Native Across Desktop and Mobile

Microsoft is retiring Copilot Mode in Edge because most Copilot features are now built directly into the browser across desktop and mobile. New capabilities include Journeys for saving and revisiting projects, Vision and Voice for hands‑free browsing, long‑term memory to recall previous chats, Study and Learn mode with guided quizzes, a Writing Assistant for drafts and tone adjustments, and a tab‑to‑podcast feature (English markets only); users can customize which features are enabled in Edge settings.

Microsoft Couples GPT and Claude to Elevate AI Research Beyond Solo Models

Microsoft Couples GPT and Claude to Elevate AI Research Beyond Solo Models

Microsoft introduced two Copilot Researcher modes—Critique and Council—that pair OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude to tackle complex research tasks. In Critique, GPT plans, sources, and drafts, while Claude reviews for factual accuracy and citation quality before the final report. In Council, GPT and Claude generate parallel reports that a third judge summarizes to show agreements and gaps. On the DRACO benchmark, the GPT+Claude combo scored 57.4, beating Claude Opus 4.6 (42.7) and the next-best by nearly 14%, with notable gains in breadth, presentation, and factual accuracy. Access is limited to Frontier early-access alongside a Copilot license.

Microsoft Copilot Goes Agent: Copilot Cowork Delivers Autonomous Task Handling

Microsoft launches Copilot Cowork, an autonomous AI agent built with Anthropic that can read and act on your files, email, and calendar to complete tasks like creating spreadsheets, running reports, and researching without direct supervision. Rolling out as a limited research preview, Copilot Cowork pairs with Agent 365, which will be generally available May 1, and will incorporate AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI. The move underscores the rise of agentic AI in the workplace, even as it stirs concerns about job impact.

Copilot Tasks: Microsoft’s AI-augmented to‑do list that does it for you

Copilot Tasks: Microsoft’s AI-augmented to‑do list that does it for you

Microsoft announced Copilot Tasks, a new AI feature that turns natural-language prompts into fully formed, auto‑generated to‑do lists and then acts across your calendar, emails, files, and other apps. It supports recurring, scheduled, and one‑off tasks, and can generate study plans from syllabi, convert emails into slide decks, plan events, book services, unsubscribe from mail, and more. Importantly, it requires user consent before taking meaningful actions (e.g., sending messages or spending money) and can pause or cancel tasks at any time. Currently in limited research preview with a waitlist for broader access, Copilot Tasks aims to move Copilot from a chat tool to a hands‑free “do” tool, potentially versus Copilot Actions which operate in front of you.

UK police chief resigns after AI-linked misinfo over football fan ban

Craig Guildford, chief constable of West Midlands Police, has retired amid criticism of the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a Villa Park match, with Downing Street and the Home Secretary losing confidence in his leadership. An MPs' evidence report contained inaccuracies later attributed to Microsoft Copilot, an AI tool. The policing watchdog found confirmation bias and overstated risks in the force's evidence; the ICO will continue to review the actions. Acting chief Scott Green will lead as the force works to rebuild trust, with ongoing calls for accountability and potential resignations.

AI's Impact on PC Sales and Market Dynamics

Dell executives at CES 2026 expressed disappointment with the consumer demand for AI PCs, noting that AI features are confusing rather than compelling. Microsoft’s CEO is actively involved in improving Copilot, but the product still lags behind competitors and faces skepticism from consumers. Despite the hype, the market is not yet ready to embrace AI PCs, and traditional sales methods remain necessary until AI tools like Copilot are more mature.

LG Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs

LG has quietly installed Microsoft Copilot on its smart TVs via a recent update, making it non-removable unless the TV is disconnected from the internet, raising concerns about consumer choice and privacy. The app, which acts as a web shortcut rather than a native feature, was announced by LG and Samsung earlier this year but is now appearing on LG TVs without official confirmation or user control options.
