Microsoft has unveiled its latest offering for iOS and Android users: Copilot, a free AI chatbot and assistant app. The app, formerly known as Bing Chat, aims to provide real-time intelligent assistance to enhance productivity, creativity, and skills. Copilot functions similarly to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, utilizing GPT-4 and DALL-E to offer text and image-based results.
Users of the Copilot app can enjoy a wide range of features and power. This AI chatbot can help with various tasks and queries, such as writing emails, creating summaries, and generating pictures with DALL-E3, a text-to-image tool. What sets Copilot apart is its integration with GPT-4, the most advanced language model from OpenAI, which is free to use. In comparison, ChatGPT only provides GPT-3.5 for free.
Copilot is not only available as a dedicated app but is also seamlessly integrated into Office 365. This integration allows users to leverage the AI capabilities of Copilot across all Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Furthermore, Copilot can be configured for Business Chat, assisting with contact organization, meeting scheduling, document management, and other tasks.
Microsoft is making sure Copilot is accessible on various devices, including Windows computers, Macs, iPhones, and Android smartphones. The app also has a dedicated desktop domain, copilot.microsoft.com, for convenient access.
While Microsoft currently offers Copilot for free, it remains uncertain how long this will last. Following OpenAI’s model, there may come a time when Microsoft decides to introduce a subscription plan for Copilot.
In addition to their focus on Copilot, Microsoft is actively working on incorporating more AI-powered upgrades across their offerings. As part of this effort, the tech giant has rebranded its internet browser as AI Browser on app stores. The new name, Microsoft Edge: AI Browser, highlights the browser’s AI-powered features and marks a significant change for the platform.
As Microsoft continues to strengthen its AI capabilities, users can expect more advancements and improvements in the future. With Copilot, the company aims to provide users with enhanced productivity, creativity, and assistance across various tasks.
