Microsoft Edge for Business is planning to introduce a new feature called Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat summarization. This feature will be added to the context menu, which is the menu that appears when you right-click on a webpage. The idea is to help users quickly understand and interact with the content on their open page by providing a summary and allowing them to ask questions about it.

Think of it like having a smart assistant with you while you're reading a long document or article. Imagine you're at a library with a research assistant. Instead of reading an entire book to find the information you need, you can ask your assistant to give you a quick summary or answer specific questions. This is what the Copilot Chat summarization feature aims to do for webpages.

When you're working on a project or trying to gather information, this tool can save you time by breaking down complex information into digestible parts. It can help you focus on the most relevant details without having to sift through everything manually. This can be particularly useful for busy professionals who need to quickly get to the heart of the matter.

In practical terms, once this feature is available, you would simply right-click on a webpage, select the summarization option, and let the tool do the heavy lifting. It will provide you with a concise summary and give you the opportunity to ask follow-up questions if needed. This can enhance productivity by making information more accessible and easier to manage.
