Microsoft Edge is getting a serious productivity boost—and it could impact how your team works every single day.
If you run a business in the GTA or Simcoe County, you’ll want to know about a big AI shift happening inside your browser. Microsoft is testing an update that could change the way Edge supports your team.
Copilot May Soon Launch Automatically in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft is rolling out a feature that could make Copilot open on its own when you launch Edge or open a new tab. No more clicking to activate it—it’s just there, waiting.
For busy workplaces, that means one less thing to remember. With Copilot ready on the spot, you get help faster, with fewer clicks and no wait time.
Key Benefits of Built-In Copilot for Small Businesses
For small to medium-sized teams juggling operations, sales, and service, having AI within reach can smooth out the daily grind.
1. Get Instant Troubleshooting Help
Browser not behaving? Can't find a setting? Use the new "Ask Copilot" feature in Edge settings and get answers without opening a ticket.
2. Speed Through Daily Digital Tasks
Need to write an email, summarize a report, or brainstorm copy? Copilot is right there to help. It’s like having an extra pair of hands that never takes a break.

3. Stay Safe With AI-Powered Scam Protection
Microsoft is also testing an update called "Scareware Blocker." It uses AI to spot scam websites and shut them down before they load. That’s one more layer of defense for your team while they browse.
