ChatSense to Support Microsoft Edge for Secure Use of 'Cowork' Browser Automation Feature

Knowledge Sense Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Atsushi Kadowaki; hereinafter 'Knowledge Sense') announced plans to offer a Microsoft Edge-compatible version of 'Cowork,' the browser automation agent feature of its enterprise AI agent 'ChatSense.'

'Cowork' is an autonomous B2B AI that automates browser operations and handles cross-tool workflows based simply on user instructions. Companies interested in the beta version can inquire via the contact page: https://chatsense.jp/contact

It is available on a monthly subscription model, allowing use starting from a single user for just one month. (Existing ChatSense users should contact their sales representative to apply.)

Background: Using Cowork on the Standard Edge Browser

Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is increasingly being adopted by businesses to improve operational efficiency and service quality. ChatSense, provided by Knowledge Sense, has been deployed in over 500 organizations, including companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime market, thanks to its secure environment and custom data training features.

In large enterprise environments, Microsoft Edge is commonly adopted as the standard browser due to Microsoft 365 integration and group policy controls. Previously, browser options for Cowork were limited. Clients frequently requested Edge support, noting that they could not easily install alternative browsers because they had standardized on Edge, or that operating in their existing standard browser environment was ideal for IT approval processes.

To meet these demands, ChatSense will offer a version of Cowork compatible with Microsoft Edge. This will allow companies standardizing on Edge to use Cowork's automated browser controls directly in their existing Edge environment without needing to install additional browsers.

Key Planned Features

1. Seamless Cowork Use in Microsoft Edge Environments

Enterprises standardizing on Microsoft Edge can deploy Cowork without installing secondary browsers. This lowers the hurdles associated with IT department approval processes and internal software distribution, making it easier to roll out browser-automating AI.

2. Integration with Microsoft 365 Workflows

Users can delegate tasks involving Microsoft 365 services, such as SharePoint, Outlook, and Excel Online, while retaining their active Edge log-in sessions. This facilitates cross-system workflow automation utilizing existing single sign-on credentials and session states.

3. Enterprise-Grade Security

The Edge version inherits the robust security features of Cowork, such as limiting automation to authorized websites and requesting final user confirmation when the AI identifies a high-risk action. This ensures AI usage remains aligned with organizational security policies.
