Microsoft Edge may soon diagnose and fix its own problems with AI

Microsoft Edge appears to have an AI tool on the way that will fix common issues within the browser. A page within the browser’s settings app was spotted recently, though only for those using Edge Canary (a preview version of the app).

The feature was first spotted by Leo Varela, who keeps track of changes to Edge and Chrome. Varela noted that the icon for “Fix an issue” is a magic wand, which suggests it could be an AI tool. Microsoft often uses a similar icon to denote AI features.

Early hints of the feature appeared back in May. The latest version of Edge Canary shows a basic interface for the tool, but the feature is not functional yet.

The interface has a text box for describing an issue and also shows a list of four suggestions, such as “Fix videos that won’t play” and “Help me sign in.”
