Microsoft is currently testing a new AI feature in Edge called “Journeys,” reports Windows Latest. The aim is to create AI-generated summaries and interactive cards of your browsing history and open pages, making it easier to resume projects or continue ongoing tasks.
But there’s a catch with this feature: it’s only available if you have a Copilot Pro subscription, which costs $20 per month. The subscription also provides AI capabilities in other Microsoft apps such as Word, PowerPoint, Paint, and Notepad. (Yup, those last two actually have AI features.)
When Journeys is activated, an AI model analyzes your browsing activity. Microsoft emphasizes that the data is stored locally on your device and is not used for training AI models or targeted advertising. Instead, Edge uses small language models such as Phi-4 and Phi-mini, which allow the calculations to take place directly on your computer.
The Journeys feature is not yet available in the stable version of Edge, and as of this writing can only be enabled via Edge Canary. It’s currently unclear when Journeys will be made widel
