Presentamos el modo Copilot en Edge: una nueva forma de navegar por la web
Por: Sean Lyndersay.
Durante décadas, la forma en que hemos usado los navegadores ha sido lineal: abrir una pestaña (o 20), buscar algo, leer una página, repetir. Es un modelo que ha funcionado bien, pero, de manera fundamental, no ha cambiado. Hasta ahora. A medida que la IA comienza a remodelar casi todas las facetas de la vida digital, presenciamos un punto de inflexión en la forma en que interactuamos con la web. Ahora, vale la pena preguntarse: ¿su navegador funciona para ustedes tanto como debería?
Es por eso que hoy nos complace lanzar el modo Copilot, un nuevo modo experimental en Microsoft Edge, y nuestro próximo paso hacia la creación de una forma más eficaz de pilotar la web.
Con el modo Copilot activado, ustedes habilitan funciones innovadoras de IA en Edge que mejoran su navegador. No solo espera ociosamente a que hagan clic, sino que anticipa lo que podrían querer hacer a continuación. No solo les brinda pestañas interminables para examinar, sino que trabaja con ustedes como un colaborador que le da sentido a todo. Los mantiene en la navegación, elimina el desorden y elimina la fricción para desbloquear su flujo, todo ello construido con los más altos estándares de seguridad, privacidad y rendimiento de Microsoft en los que confían miles de millones de personas y empresas de todo el mundo, con ustedes como usuarios siempre en control.
Cuando abran una nueva pestaña en Edge con el modo Copilot activado, verán una página limpia y optimizada con un solo cuadro de entrada que reúne el chat, la búsqueda y la navegación web. Copilot entiende su intención y les ayuda a empezar más rápido. El modo Copilot también ve la imagen completa en las pestañas abiertas, e incluso pueden indicarle que se encargue de algunas tareas. Conviertan su navegador en una herramienta que les ayude a comparar, decidir y hacer las cosas con facilidad. Con el tiempo, continuaremos con las mejoras y agregaremos funciones al modo Copilot. Y si en algún momento prefieren la experiencia clásica de hoy en Edge, pueden cambiarla en la configuración de su navegador.
El modo Copilot está disponible de forma gratuita, por tiempo limitado, a partir de hoy en todos los mercados de Copilot, en exclusiva en Edge para Windows y Mac.* Esta es una función opcional: asegúrense de hacer clic y probar las funciones más recientes. Ayúdenos a dar forma al futuro de la navegación impulsada por IA.
Naveguen de manera más inteligente con el contexto de varias pestañas
Con su permiso, pueden permitir que Copilot vea todas sus pestañas abiertas para que pueda comprender el contexto completo de lo que exploran en línea. Esto significa mejores comparaciones, decisiones más rápidas y menos alternancia de pestañas. Por ejemplo, cuando investiguen alquileres vacacionales en varios sitios, chateen con Copilot para identificar de manera rápida qué opción está más cerca de la playa e incluye una cocina completa, lo que ahorra tiempo y reduce la fricción.
Aceleren las tareas diarias con Actions
A partir de hoy, Copilot en Edge admite la navegación por voz natural. Pueden hablar de manera directa con Copilot sobre lo que tratan de hacer, ya sea localizar información en una página o hacer que Copilot abra algunas pestañas para comparar opciones entre productos. Solo tienen que decir lo que necesitan y Copilot les ayudará a moverse más rápido con menos clics y escritura.
Más adelante, podrán dar permiso a Copilot para acceder al contexto adicional del navegador que necesitan, como su historial y credenciales, para realizar acciones más avanzadas y fluidas, como reservar reservas o administrar recados en su nombre. Imagínense solo preguntar: «Encuentra un alquiler de tabla de remo cerca del trabajo», y Copilot no solo encuentra la mejor opción, sino que también verifica el clima, hace la reserva e incluso sugiere protector solar o videos tutoriales para ayudarlos a prepararse.
Manténganse enfocados y en su flujo con un acceso más fácil a Copilot
Lleven Copilot a cualquier página web sin perder su lugar. Ya sea para convertir medidas de recetas o traducir contenido, Copilot aparece en un panel dinámico mientras mantiene visible la página original. Es perfecto para ayudar a eliminar distracciones como ventanas emergentes y publicaciones de blog de largo aliento, y para obtener de manera directa la información que necesitan.
Continúen donde se quedaron
Copilot pronto podrá guiarlos en sus tareas y organizar su navegación, pasada y presente, en viajes útiles basados en temas. Estos viajes ofrecen sugerencias sobre qué hacer a continuación, ayudándoles a mantenerse enfocados y a que los proyectos avancen. Por ejemplo, si han investigado cómo iniciar un negocio en línea, Copilot puede reconocerlo y sacar a la luz información relevante, como recomendar un tutorial para ver mientras explora diferentes métodos de creación de sitios web. Siempre tendrán el control, ya que Copilot solo podrá acceder a su contenido de navegación cuando elija habilitarlo, y con señales visuales claras cuando ayude en segundo plano. Con una función tan poderosa, nuestros equipos están comprometidos con la privacidad y la seguridad del usuario, y nos tomamos nuestro tiempo para asegurarnos de que esto se construya de manera correcta.
Nuestro compromiso con la privacidad y la seguridad
Su privacidad y seguridad siguen como nuestra máxima prioridad. Microsoft solo recopila los datos necesarios para mejorar su experiencia o que elija proporcionar a través de la configuración de personalización, por lo que siempre tiene el control. Con el modo Copilot en Edge, sus datos están protegidos bajo los estándares de privacidad de confianza de Microsoft que están diseñados para mantener su información segura y nunca compartida sin su permiso. Los datos de su navegador se manejarán y protegerán de acuerdo con la Declaración de privacidad de Microsoft, y siempre habrá señales visuales claras en su navegador cuando Copilot vea o escuche.
Con el modo Copilot, también pueden optar por activar y desactivar la experiencia como deseen, a través de la configuración de Edge. Si eligen no activar el modo Copilot, pueden continuar su navegación en Edge como de costumbre.
Sus comentarios son importantes
Este es solo el comienzo de nuestro recorrido para introducir nuevas innovaciones de IA en su navegación diaria. El modo Copilot es experimental y evolucionará con el tiempo, y apenas hemos comenzado. Disponible para los usuarios de Edge que desean optar por la experiencia de forma gratuita por tiempo limitado, esta es su oportunidad de explorar las últimas funciones de IA y proporcionar comentarios que ayudarán a dar forma a lo que viene a continuación.
Si están emocionados de compartir ideas, conectarse con otros o ayudar a definir el futuro de la navegación impulsada por IA, también únanse a la conversación en Discord.
* Se aplican límites de uso a ciertas funciones de Copilot. La disponibilidad del modo Copilot está sujeta a cambios.
