    I have tried the copilot integration in edge out of curiosity, and if you feed the ai the context of the page the response can be useful. There is a catch, tho:

    • when opening a document the accepted formats are html, txt, pdf. The documentation of a software package can be summarized but thr source will be the context of the page and not a web search, which is good in this casr

    • when generating new information, the model can be far too sintethic, cutting out potentially useful informations.

    I still think you need to read the documentation yourself, maybe using the AI integration only when you need a general idea of the document.

    What I do is first reading the summary of the documebt by bullet point, than reading the pdf file as a whole. By the time I do so, the LLM has given enough of a structure to facilitate my readings…
