Microsoft is improving Copilot integration in the Edge browser with AI-powered smart keywords. This allows the AI to generate important keywords from the PDF and then help you analyze each topic.
Copilot in Edge already lets you combine all types of documents, including PDFs.
You can open any PDF in Edge and interact with the AI to ask questions, summarize, and review the content. For example, you can ask Copilot to summarize an entire PDF or answer specific questions about the document.
Edge’s PDF reader is now set to receive a new feature that generates keywords. These keywords, which are one- or two-word phrases, highlight important content in a document and make it easier to find relevant information.
As discovered by browser researcher Leo, Microsoft has already made some changes related to this feature in Edge Canary, including updating the icon and tooltip for the keyword generator.
The tooltip now indicates that these keywords are generated using Copilot.
Edge’s PDF reader not only highlights these “smart keywords” in the document, but also allows users to click on them to get additional information via Copilot.
It’s unclear when the feature will be released to everyone, but if you’re lucky, you may already have access to the Smart Keywords feature in Edge Canary or Dev.
