Microsoft is readying a new smart mode for Copilot, according to sources. The new mode will be available for both consumer and commercial versions of Copilot.

I reported last week that OpenAI is planning to launch GPT-5 in early August, as part of an effort to simplify and combine its large language models. Just a day after my report, references to GPT-5 were spotted inside Microsoft’s Copilot web app, hinting at a new smart mode. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s AI plans tell me that the company is currently testing this new smart mode for Copilot across both the consumer version and the commercial Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Copilot Mode is somewhere between the limited Gemini integration that Google is testing in Chrome and the AI-powered overhaul that Comet offers with its AI browser. It’s an optional feature you have to manually enable right now, and Microsoft mentions that it’s “free for a limited time,” so it’s unlikely that Copilot Mode will be turned on as default for all Edge users anytime soon. * Microsoft’s controversial Recall feature is now blocked by Brave and AdGuard.
