Microsoft Introduces Copilot AI App for Android, Equipped with ChatGPT-Inspired Capabilities
Microsoft has joined the ranks of companies like OpenAI by launching its own app for its generative AI-powered service, Copilot. For the uninitiated, Microsoft Copilot, formerly called Bing Chat, is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 and DALL-E 3, and until now was only available as a web version or could be used inside the Bing app.
But now users can head over to the Google Play Store and download the standalone Copilot app right away. Like the web version, it responds to user queries and generates images based on the text-based prompts you feed it. This means you can use it for a wide variety of tasks, including proofreading, creating a habit-based diet plan, creating a travel itinerary, and even creating high-quality images.
If you’ve used OpenAI’s ChatGPT app, you’ll feel right at home because it works the same way. However, one major difference is that you can create images, which you can’t do with the free version of ChatGPT.
Additionally, this app release comes just a month after Bing Chat was rebranded as Copilot. That’s why it makes sense for Microsoft to launch Copilot as a standalone experience instead of bundling it with the Bing app. To start using Copilot, you don’t need a Microsoft account and you can use the basic features of the app as it is, but if you want to create picture prompts and ask detailed questions, you need to sign in with a Microsoft account.
However, the app is currently only available for Android and we have no information on when it will be released for Apple iOS.
