How to Use the Free Version of Copilot AI?

Did you know you can use Microsoft Copilot AI for free? If you want to see how AI can help with your work, this is a great way to try it out without paying anything.

One easy way to get started is by using the Microsoft Edge browser. It’s not just another browser, it’s actually really fast and works just like Chrome. In fact, Edge and Chrome are built on the same technology, so they’re like cousins.

The best part? All the Chrome extensions you love work on Edge too. So not only can you use Edge to try Copilot AI, but you can also keep all the tools you’re used to for browsing and getting things done.

Here's how you can set up Microsoft Copilot and look like a tech wizard:

1. Open Microsoft Edge – You know that blue and green swirly icon on your taskbar or in your Start menu. That’s Edge. Click it.

4. Explore Copilot Features – Now that you have Copilot up and running, take some time to explore its features. You can ask it questions, get help with tasks, and even have it generate content for you.
