When working in the Edge browser, the Copilot app is available by clicking the button on the top right of the browser.


This brings up your AI assistant on the side of the browser, allowing you to continue browsing and interacting with your web pages without having to switch to a new window.  You can ask it to take actions on your browser (like “Organize my tabs”) or ask for things that require an internet search or content creation (“Paint an image of a pixelated dragon breathing a rainbow of colors”).


One really cool feature of Copilot in Edge is the ability to summarize or use content from the current web page that’s open.  But you don’t get this automatically; you have to enable it. On the top right of the Copilot app, click on the three dots and then select Notification and App settings.



In the next screen, toggle on the option to Allow Microsoft to access page content.




Navigate to a page you’d like to summarize (I’ll go to the Wikipedia page for Microsoft Copilot).  

In most cases, Copilot will give you an easy one-click option to generate the page summary (if it doesn’t, just type in “generate the page summary”).


And, as you wish, you’ll get a summary of what’s on the page.
