💭Rethinking the Web, One Tab at a Time
Microsoft just launched “Copilot Mode in Edge,” a new experimental feature within Microsoft Edge that provides an AI-first browsing experience.
Key Details:
For decades, the way we’ve used browsers has followed the same predictable pattern: search, click, skim, and repeat. It’s familiar, but it’s also outdated.
As AI continues to transform how we work, learn, and create, it’s finally reshaping how we browse. We’re no longer just surfing the web. We’re collaborating with it.
“Copilot Mode in Edge” combines chat, voice, and search into a single, unified input box. With your permission, the “Copilot” can access all your open tabs to help you make faster decisions with less tab toggling.
It also supports voice commands, allowing you to navigate pages or compare products without lifting a finger.
In the future, “Copilot Mode in Edge” will also organize your browsing history into topic-based journeys, enabling you to pick up where you left off.
Why It’s Important:
“Copilot Mode in Edge” is the first glimpse into Microsoft’s long-term plans. At Microsoft Build 2025, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced his comprehensive strategy to build what he calls the “Open Agentic Web.” It’s a bold vision where AI Agents will require a complete rethinking of how everything’s structured and accessed on the internet.
While humans navigate websites visually, AI Agents navigate them structurally. In other words, we read pixels while they read code. The digital world has been optimized for humans. Now, it’ll have to be restructured to support AI Agents. We’re shifting from asking, “What can I search for?” to “What can my browser do for me?”

AI RESEARCH
🦾Equipping Robots With Bodily Self-Awareness
MIT CSAIL recently developed “Neural Jacobian Fields (NJF),” which give robots a kind of bodily self-awareness through vision alone.
Key Details:
NJF enables robots to learn their three-dimensional (3D) shape and how they move in response to motor commands. So, how does it work?
A robot performs random motor commands while multiple RGB-D cameras capture visual information such as Red, Green, and Blue colors, as well as Depth.
This visual information is fed into a Deep Neural Network (DNN), which helps NJF learn:
Geometry: What the robot’s body looks like from every angle.
Kinematics: How every motor joint in the robot’s body will move.
The RGB-D cameras paired with the DNN enable NJF to equip robots with the ability to continuously observe, predict, and optimize their next motor command.
It’s like how babies learn to move. They wiggle and watch what happens. NJF replicates that by having robots autonomously discover what they are and what they can do based purely on what they see.
Why It’s Important:
Most robots today rely on multiple sensors to function properly, including encoders to track how far motor joints turn and tactile mechanisms to detect touch or pressure.
But with NJF, a robot doesn’t need any of that. It learns how to control itself just from camera footage. It’s like giving robots a mirror and a brain, and letting them figure it out.
PROMPT ENGINEERING TIPS
⚙️Design Your Personal Philosophy!
Creating a personal philosophy isn’t just about having opinions; it’s about crafting a clear decision-making compass that helps you make aligned choices.
In other words, it’s not about borrowing beliefs; it’s about distilling your own values, principles, and worldview.
This simple prompt turns ChatGPT into your personal philosophy architect:
Context: I want to define my own personal philosophy,
Clarity: but I’m unsure when, where, or how to begin reflecting on what truly matters to me.
Guidance: Can you walk me through a step-by-step reflective process to help me explore, clarify, and articulate my own personal philosophy from the ground up?
