Boost Productivity with Microsoft Edge’s New “Draft with Copilot” Feature
Microsoft is revolutionizing how we tackle everyday tasks with the introduction of ‘Draft with Copilot’, a cutting-edge AI-powered tool available in the Microsoft Edge browser. This exciting new feature is designed to make drafting text faster, easier, and more efficient—perfect for busy teams juggling endless emails, updates, and communications.
How Does ‘Draft with Copilot’ Work?
When you’re in Edge and facing an empty text field—whether it’s an email body, a comment box, or a form field—you can now right-click and select ‘Draft with Copilot.’
Here’s what happens next:
- Enter Your Topic: A pop-up window appears where you can type in your subject or a brief description of what you need.
- Hit ‘Generate’: Copilot will create a well-structured and grammatically correct draft in moments.
- Customize the Output: Adjust the tone (formal or casual) and length (shorter or longer) to suit your needs.
It’s that simple! Whether it’s a quick email, a LinkedIn post, or a client update, Copilot helps you save time without sacrificing quality.
Why Should Your Business Care?
The phrase “time is money” couldn’t be more relevant in today’s fast-paced workplace. ‘Draft with Copilot’ saves time by automating the initial stages of writing, freeing your team to focus on other priorities.
Here’s what you gain:
- Efficiency: Copilot drafts emails, comments, or updates in seconds.
- Polished Communication: AI ensures correct grammar and structure.
- Global Flexibility: Perfect for multilingual teams, it aids those writing in a non-native language. (Currently available in US English, with plans to expand.)
The Value of Human Oversight
While Copilot is a powerful tool, it’s not perfect. AI-generated text can sometimes feel generic, and personal touches or specific details may be needed to fully connect with your audience. A quick review and a touch of customization can make all the difference.
Availability and What’s Next
‘Draft with Copilot’ is currently being tested in the Edge Canary preview build. As Microsoft continues to integrate AI tools like Copilot across its ecosystem, businesses can expect even more innovative features to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.
