Microsoft Edge Copilot now lets you share AI chats easily

Microsoft has added a new share button to Copilot in Edge, allowing consumers to share AI chat conversations with others more easily by creating a shareable link. As MSPowerUser reports. The modification, available now, also expands the “Think Deeper” feature to all consumers, enhancing AI responses with deeper reasoning.

With this addition, Microsoft is making Copilot on Edge more like its website and. Mobile apps for a more consistent experience. For instance, on , you can chat with AI without signing up, similar to ChatGPT’s web search. However, unlike Edge’s side panel, the web version doesn’t yet support sharing AI chats, but. Let’s hope it does soon.

What does the “Think Deeper” feature do? It was trained to “think before it speaks” and offers advanced reasoning for career advice, problem-solving, STEM-related tasks like coding, advanced math problems, and more. Therefore, it takes a little longer to respond, around 30 seconds, . Microsoft is making the feature, powered by OpenAI’s o1 model, available even to free customers. This is excellent news since it allows you to use it without dropping a serious coin.

This isn’t the only change Microsoft has made since last year. The software giant also updated Copilot’s design on Windows 10,11 and mobile, adding Copilot Voice and Copilot Vision attributes. Time will tell what other feature will reach all people.

If you take a look at the Lumus Z-30 Optical Engine for augmented reality glasses. It looks pretty much like an ordinary pair of glasses.

Valve has taken further steps to ban exploitative game mechanics

One thing to keep in mind is this was already a rule, but it was buried on Steam’s Pricing page within the Steamworks Documentation. Valve has since updated the database and added a page detailing advertising to make the rule much more visible, essentially giving developers an ultimatum: remove exploitative elements like this or be taken off Steam.

“Developers should not utilize paid advertising as a business model in their game, such as requiring players to watch or otherwise engage with advertising in order to play. Or gating gameplay behind advertising,” one section reads. It goes on to say that developers should not award items or playtime for watching ads, either. Valve further implies swapping to a one-time payment model, or offering paid DLC packs as a way to generate revenue.

If you don’t play many mobile games. Then you might not have encountered this particular mechanic before. Free-to-play games are especially guilty of this, only allowing players a certain number of attempts before they have to stop and let their energy recharge. Other ads block the entire screen while they count down to zero, only to push a different ad when the timer hits zero.

If this sounds annoying, that’s because it is — and the games often charge a $5 one-time payment to get rid of ads for good.

This isn’t a common problem on Steam. But other platforms like the Nintendo Switch are overloaded with quick mobile game ports. By emphasizing this rule, Valve is getting ahead of something that could become a major problem.
