Copilot Vision Starts Rolling Out to Copilot Pro Subscribers in the US

Copilot Vision, a new Copilot feature that makes Microsoft’s AI assistant capable of analyzing what’s on a webpage is now available for a limited number of Copilot Pro subscribers in the US. The feature was first announced in October alongside a redesign of Microsoft’s Copilot app, which Microsoft wants to become an “AI companion for everyone”.

As an experimental feature, Copilot Vision is currently only available on Microsoft’s Edge browser. “It is a new way to invite AI along with you as you navigate the web, tucked neatly into the bottom of your Edge browser whenever you want to ask for help,” the Copilot team explained today. “It’s almost like having a second set of eyes as you browse, just turn on Copilot Vision to instantly scan, analyze, and offer insights based on what it sees.”

In practice, Copilot Vision can offer context-based suggestions while users are browsing the web. Microsoft says Copilot can act as a personal shopping companion or suggest recommendations when planning a trip. It can also be of assistance when Edge users are playing a web-based game.

Microsoft is currently restricting Copilot Vision to a small list of websites, and the feature is entirely opt-in. The Copilot team emphasized that the feature won’t store any personal data, and Microsoft also won’t be using data from web publishers to train the AI models powering Copilot Vision.

“We’re taking our time to gather feedback, iterate on the technology, and will expand access to more Pro subscribers and more websites over time,” the Copilot team said today. If you’re in the US and have a Copilot Pro subscription, you can try joining the Copilot Vision limited preview on the Copilot Labs portal.
