What is Microsoft Edge Inline Compose?
Inline Compose is a system that assists users with writing in the browser. In Microsoft Edge, users can trigger it in put boxes by clicking on a floating button that appears or by clicking the Rewrite with Copilot or Draft with Copilot option on the right-click context menu. Depending on the scenario, it takes either a prompt as input or user-typed content as input; and its output is refined content generated based on the prompt or user-typed content.
What can Inline Compose do?
The system leverages large language models to assist users with writing by creating content based on their input or by enhancing existing text. It uses user input as the basis and leverages the knowledge the model has about writing to generate polished content. Users can also tailor the output by adjusting tone, length, and format.
What is/are Inline Compose's intended use(s)?
Improvement/generation of text. Users can use the system to improve their writing when drafting in the browser.
How was Inline Compose evaluated? What metrics are used to measure performance?
Inline Compose was evaluated with responsible AI metrics to identify potential risks such as jailbreaks and harmful content. We use a set of potentially harmful prompts and test our system against these prompts.
What are the limitations of Inline Compose? How can users minimize the impact of Inline Compose's limitations when using the system?
Despite our safety fine-tuning, as well as the implementation of the responsible AI controls and safety systems that we place on user prompts and model outputs, AI systems might occasionally show harmful or misleading content.
We provide AI disclosure where users are notified that they are interacting with an AI system as well as opportunities to learn more about the features. Empowering users with this knowledge can help them avoid over-relying on AI and learn about the system's strengths and limitations.
What operational factors and settings allow for effective and responsible use of Inline Compose?
Users can customize the length, tone, and format of the generated content based on their needs. These settings allow for flexibility and ensure the content aligns with different writing contexts.
Users can also disable the feature by turning off Collaborate with Copilot as you write on the web in Microsoft Edge settings.
How do I provide feedback on Inline Compose?
Users can submit feedback on the feature through the Send feedback feature within Microsoft Edge.
