Microsoft has launched a new dedicated app called Copilot for Android users, offering a range of features powered by AI technology. The app provides direct access to the AI-driven tool, allowing users to benefit from chatbot capabilities, image creation, and text drafting assistance.
In a move similar to other businesses like OpenAI, Microsoft has released a standalone app for its generative AI-powered service, Copilot. Previously known as Bing Chat, Copilot is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 and DALL-E 3. Initially, it was only accessible via the web or the Bing app.
However, Android users can now download the Copilot app directly from the Google Play Store. The app functions similarly to the web version, responding to user inquiries and generating graphics based on text requests. This means that users can utilize Copilot for various tasks, such as proofreading, itinerary planning, diet plan creation based on personal habits, and even high-quality photo production.
If you are already familiar with OpenAI’s ChatGPT app, you will find the Copilot app to be quite similar in functionality. However, there is one notable difference—Copilot allows users to create images, which is not possible with the free version of the ChatGPT app.
It is worth mentioning that the release of the Copilot app comes about one month after Bing Chat rebranded to Copilot. This explains why Microsoft decided to launch Copilot as a separate app rather than bundling it with the Bing app. While basic functionality can be accessed without a Microsoft account, users will need to log in with a Microsoft account in order to generate images from prompts and ask more in-depth questions.
For iPhone and iPad users, Copilot features can currently be accessed through the Bing app until the dedicated iOS version is released. However, there is no information available about the timeline for the release of the iOS version. As of now, the Copilot app is only available for Android users.
Microsoft’s move to launch the dedicated Copilot app for Android users aligns with the increasing popularity of AI-driven chatbot services. With functionalities ranging from chatbot capabilities to image creation and text drafting assistance, Copilot offers Android users a powerful AI tool at their fingertips. As technology continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how these AI-powered apps further evolve and enhance user experiences.
