FULL STORY ======================================================================Microsof t is rolling out the Vision feature for Copilot Plus subscribers Vision lets the AI see what's on the screen for Edge browser users The AI offers contextual advice for shopping, planning trips, and other activities

Microsoft's slow tease of the Vision feature for the Copilot AI assistant has finally ended, at least if you subscribe to Copilot Pro. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman announced the rollout in a post on X (formerly Twitter). CoPilot Vision essentially lets the AI aide view your screen and is embedded in the Microsoft Edge browser.

With your permission, Copilot Vision can analyze the website you are looking at and offer real-time suggestions, insights, or explanations. Its like getting a second pair of eyes; only these ones are powered by AI and ready to jump in with useful tidbits whenever you need them. Instead of getting lost
in a sea of text or struggling to find what you need, you can ask Vision for help.

Vision can help plan a restaurant or movie theatre trip, highlighting ticket info, menus, and anything else. Trying to knock out some holiday shopping? Vision can scan the page and point out products that match your style or budget. Something special is coming this holiday break As of today, Vision
is rolling out to our U.S. Copilot Pro subscribers on Windowsso if that includes you, keep your eyes peeled in Edge! And if you still have some Christmas sweater shopping to do https://t.co/6nNXD8pw4F December 19, 2024 Vision and Visuals

Copilot Vision doesn't work universally, even for Pro subscribers. The AI can only "see" some websites. But, as many third-party publishers are helping Microsoft figure out how to make the feature even more useful, it will likely expand its availability quickly.

This kind of AI-assisted browsing isnt completely new. Other browsers like Google Chrome and Opera have been exploring similar features. Googles Search Generative Experience offers AI-generated summaries right in your search results, while Operas Aria helps you out as you browse. But Microsofts take
on it feels a bit more personal, like having a smart assistant who actually understands what youre looking at and helps you in real-time. You might also like Microsoft's AI Copilot makeover lets it see and speak Claude joins the

be about to rebrand its AI into Windows Intelligence rather than Copilot
