At a Microsoft press event today where the company demonstrated its new A.I.-powered search capabilities in Bing, the company also announced a new version of its Edge web browser that includes A.I. technologies built-in. With the new browser, web users would be able to do things like summarize search results with A.I.’s help and converse with A.I. chatbots to get their questions answered, among other things.
“It’s sleeker, it’s lighter,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft Corporate VP, when demonstrating the new version of the browser, which now sports a few aesthetic changes, as well, like rounded corners.
Similar to the updates coming to Bing, an A.I. chatbot is available in a sidebar in Edge and includes two functionalities: chat and compose.
