During the holiday season, Microsoft discreetly introduced its Copilot app, now available on Android, iOS, and iPadOS. The app provides users with access to Copilot, formerly recognized as Bing Chat, functioning in a manner akin to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Similar to other AI chatbots, Copilot allows users to input questions or prompts, generating responses through artificial intelligence. The AI assistant proves versatile, aiding users in drafting emails, composing stories or scripts, summarizing intricate texts, crafting personalized travel itineraries, and updating job resumes, among other functions. Additionally, the app incorporates the Image Creator feature, powered by DALL·E 3, enabling users to explore diverse styles and ideas.
This includes tasks such as curating social media content, developing brand motifs, generating logo designs, creating custom backgrounds, building portfolios, and visualizing film and video storyboards, showcasing the app’s wide-ranging capabilities.
By harnessing the capabilities of GPT-4 alongside the imaginative prowess of DALL·E 3, Copilot not only amplifies your design workflow but propels your creativity to new and inspiring heights,” states the app’s description.
Since its holiday season debut, Copilot has garnered over 1.5 million downloads globally across both Android and iOS platforms, as reported by mobile intelligence provider data.ai.
Copilot provides users with complimentary access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 technology, a notable feature given that OpenAI’s GPT app typically operates on GPT-3.5 technology and charges for GPT-4 access.
This mobile launch coincides with Microsoft’s rebranding of Bing Chat to Copilot in November. It’s worth mentioning that before Copilot’s mobile debut, similar functionality could be accessed through Bing Chat on the Bing app. While it’s plausible that Microsoft might consider replacing the Bing app with Copilot, no official statements on such intentions have been made by the tech giant thus far.
With this recent release, Microsoft aims to position Copilot as a standalone service, further extending its reach and impact in the digital landscape.
