Microsoft has expanded its generative AI-powered service, Copilot, by launching a dedicated app for Android users. Previously known as Bing Chat, Microsoft Copilot is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 and DALL-E 3. Until now, it was only accessible through the web or within the Bing app. With the launch of the dedicated Copilot app, users can now download it directly from the Google Play Store.
Similar to the web version, the Copilot app responds to user queries and generates images based on text-based prompts. This versatile tool can be used for various tasks, including proofreading, creating personalized diet plans, organizing travel itineraries, and generating high-quality images. The app closely resembles the functionality of OpenAI’s ChatGPT app, but it offers an additional feature: the ability to create images, which is not available in the free version of ChatGPT.
Microsoft’s decision to release Copilot as a standalone app stems from the recent rebranding of Bing Chat to Copilot. By offering a dedicated app, Microsoft aims to enhance the user experience and cater to a wider audience. While a Microsoft account is not required to access the basic features of the app, users must sign in to create images from prompts and ask detailed questions.
At present, the Copilot app is exclusively available for Android users, with no information regarding its release on Apple iOS platforms.
In summary, Microsoft has launched the Copilot app for Android, powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 and DALL-E 3. This dedicated app allows users to access the wide range of capabilities offered by Copilot, including generating images and providing text-based responses. The app is available for download on the Google Play Store, while its compatibility with Apple iOS remains unknown. Microsoft’s decision to release Copilot independently underlines its commitment to offering an optimized and user-friendly AI-powered experience.
