If you struggle to find the right words in an email or post, you’d probably love a little help. Draft with Copilot is exactly that. Here, we tell you how it works.

There’s an exciting new feature coming to Microsoft’s Edge browser that’s going to make your life – and your employees’ lives – a whole lot easier. ‘Draft with Copilot’ is an AI-powered tool that can instantly write text on any topic you need.

When you’re in Edge, and you find yourself staring at an empty text field (like the body of an email or a comment box), just right-click. You’ll see an option to ‘Draft with Copilot.’

Click on it, and a window will pop up. You just enter the subject or topic you need text for, hit ‘Generate,’ and watch Copilot do its thing. In a few moments, you’ll have a piece of text on the topic you specified.

You can then change the tone and length of the generated text to suit your style. Want it to be more formal or casual? Need it longer or shorter? No problem.

We all know time is money. Draft with Copilot can help save you both. Imagine how much time your team spends writing everyday text. With Copilot, drafting a quick email or coming up with a social media update becomes easier.

Copilot helps you write faster and ensures the text is grammatically correct and well-structured. This is especially helpful if you’re writing in a language other than your native one.

Right now, this feature is only available in US English, but Microsoft is working on expanding it to more languages.

This feature is currently in the Edge Canary preview build, which means it’s still being fine-tuned. And while there’s no denying it’s an excellent tool, we suggest you review what it produces. Critics of AI-generated text say it can sometimes feel a bit generic, so you might need to add a personal touch or specific details to make it more engaging for your audience.

Microsoft is steadily integrating Copilot into more Windows apps, making these AI tools more accessible and versatile across different platforms. It’s clear that the future holds even more convenient AI-assisted features that will make our digital lives easier.
