Microsoft’s Copilot Vision AI is now free to use, but only for these 9 sites
After months of teasers, previews, and select rollouts, Microsoft’s Copilot Vision is now available to try for all Edge users in the U.S. The flashy new AI tool is designed to watch your screen as you browse so you can ask it various questions about what you’re doing and get useful context-appropriate responses. The main catch, however, is that it currently only works with nine websites. For the most part, these nine websites seem like pretty random choices, too. We have Amazon, which makes sense, but also Geoguessr? I’m pretty sure the point of that site is to try and guess where you are on the map without any help. Anyway, the full site list is as follows: Wikipedia Tripadvisor Williams Sonoma Amazon Target Wayfair Food & Wine OpenTable Geoguessr Recommended Videos CEO of Microsoft AI Mustafa Suleyman announced the release on Bluesky yesterday and shared a few of his favorite use cases. Usually, when you want to ask Copilot a question, you have to write out the paragraphs of context yourself, and aside from being slow and annoying, this can also be pretty difficult if you’re trying to ask about something you don’t know much about. Related With Copilot Vision, instead of trying to describe what you’re looking at or what you’re talking about, the AI model can see it right on your screen. So, according to Suleyman’s examples, you can search for “breathable sheets” on Amazon and ask Copilot if any of the results are made from appropriate fabrics. Copilot can point the right ones out to you or give you examples of breathable fabric to search for. On the Food & Wine recipe website, Copilot can help you go hands-free while you cook by answering your questions and reading out parts of the recipe to you. This works because the whole experience is designed to work through voice — you speak directly to the AI and the AI speaks back. According to one of the videos on the Copilot Vision page, however, it looks like you can type out questions too and receive written responses. Microsoft is taking things very slowly and carefully with this feature, almost certainly because it wants to avoid triggering another backlash like it did with Recall. The limited number of compatible sites is connected to copyright issues, and the company makes sure to stress that the feature is “opt-in,” doesn’t record your screen, is only on when you turn it on, and deletes the data as soon as you end a session. If you’re interested in testing it out, you can set things up and see a little tutorial through the Microsoft website. Editors’ Recommendations
