It’s weird it says I can ask Siri about a document in front of me but can I ask it about a webpage I’m currently reading?

(It’s been driving me crazy there’s no “AI this” button to discuss whatever is on my screen.)

I'm guessing they'll integrate with the double-tap-the-bottom-of-the-screen feature that pulls up siri in front of a screenshot. Currently it doesn't seem to hook into "visual intelligence", and needs to call out to ChatGPT to do anything with the screen contents.

Today's presentation was about the things you can do in the next release. And the asnwer to your question is "yes", in Golden Gate.

Edge has had this for a long time. I can highlight a string and right-click, 'Send to Copilot' and click "explain" and it'll prompt it to 'explain this passage, particularly in the context of the current page.'

Note: I have MS 365 personal or whatever it's called this week so I'm not sure how Copilot acts for a completely free user.

That would be a finder feature vs a safari feature? They talked about safari’s capabilities in a separate segment.
