One of the nicer aspects of AI chatbots everywhere is that they can summarise and transcribe for us. Well, that’s what they’re supposed to do. But maybe, according to XDA Developers, they don’t?

It appears that users won’t be able to ask Edge Copilot to summarise any video they please. The video in question must either be processed before the request or contain pre-written subtitles, which may limit how much Edge Copilot can help you.

Microsoft has yet to explain what it means by “pre-processing” a video, or how long it takes to process a video. As such, it’s hard to tell if this limitation will severely affect users or not. If it manages to process videos quickly enough, users may not realistically come across a video that Edge Copilot can’t sum up.

How many hints a video needs for transcription isn’t clear. That should be an easy job for an AI as powerful as Copilot – yet it isn’t.
