Designing the cognitive browser

As Copilot entered Microsoft Edge, the challenge was rethinking how a browser should work. I developed interaction patterns and prototypes that enabled Copilot to draw from active pages, synthesize information across tabs and shopping scenarios, and support complex workflows.

Early motion studies around multi-tab reasoning and Copilot interactions in Edge and Microsoft Start tested how AI could operate as a contextual layer within the browsing experience. These prototypes informed patterns for how Copilot accesses information and integrates into Edge as a persistent thinking partner.

This work contributed to how Copilot integrates into Edge today. Motion prototypes and interaction tests demonstrated how AI could surface insights without interrupting the flow of browsing. The result is a browser that better supports how people research, compare, and make decisions.
