Microsoft empowers you with AI

Copilot — your AI companion — alongside innovations across Edge, Bing, and MSN helps you unlock what’s possible with an AI-powered web. 

Microsoft Word is free on the web 

Now part of Microsoft 365 — Word, along with PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook — is free on the web, empowering you to create, share, and collaborate online. 

The web, optimized for Windows

Leveraging features like startup boost and efficiency mode, Edge offers a fast, streamlined web experience to over a billion Windows users worldwide.

AI-powered browsing

We said goodbye to Internet Explorer in 2022. Today, Microsoft Edge, with Copilot built in, is your AI-powered browser — helping you find, create, and do beyond what you ever thought possible, with a smarter way to browse.

AI-powered content feed

MSN is your personalized hub for news, entertainment, and inspiration. Tailored recommendations powered by AI — genuine content, just for you.

Gaming for everyone

Xbox now connects with you everywhere, even in Edge — delivering an accessible and fun gaming experience.

AI-powered search

Bing is now your AI-powered search and answer engine. With built-in image search, video search, visual search, and image creator, Bing helps you be forever curious.

Microsoft Edge, built on Chromium

Edge blends performance and compatibility with AI — offering enhanced security, personalization, and more, including Copilot, your AI companion. With your permission, Copilot Vision sees what you see and helps as you browse.
