Microsoft has upgraded Copilot with real-time web action capabilities. The assistant can now interact with websites on behalf of users, performing tasks like booking flights, ordering products, and filling out forms.
From answers to actions
Previously, Copilot could summarize information and answer questions. The new update allows it to take action in a browser, clicking buttons and entering text under user supervision.
Safety guardrails
Copilot pauses before sensitive actions like payments or sharing personal information, requiring explicit user confirmation. Enterprise customers can restrict which sites Copilot is allowed to interact with.
Where it works
The feature launches first in Microsoft Edge and will expand to Windows apps over time. Copilot+ PC owners get priority access to local model features that support web actions.
