To give you a quick recap, the ‘Chat’ feature lets you ask questions or quickly summarize the contents of a webpage or a document while ‘Compose’ is basically a writing assistant like ChatGPT that can help you generate text, social media posts and emails and even lets users set the tone and the length of the text. The currently available list of tones includes professional, enthusiastic, casual, informational and funny.
Apart from enabling AI-powered co-pilot features on the latest version of Edge, Microsoft also enhanced the sidebar experience with the new auto-hide functionality, which works similar to the Windows taskbar auto-hide option, appearing only when users need it. Users will also be able to hover over the Bing icon on the top right of the screen to make the sidebar visible.
