60-Second Summary

Microsoft introduced Copilot Mode in its Edge browser, pitching it as an AI companion that can, with permission, read open tabs, summarize and compare pages, and handle tasks like booking a hotel or filling forms. The rollout landed two days after OpenAI showed its Atlas browser, and the two offerings look strikingly alike—down to their new-tab assistants—save for subtle design choices and layout. Neither company invented the concept, and for users the main difference will come from underlying models. Arriving in the same week, the parallel launches underline a tense, high-stakes AI race.
