In a recent under-the-radar move, Microsoft unveiled its latest development for Android users, the Copilot app.
This dedicated app, which made a quiet debut on the Google Play Store on December 19, 2023, introduces an AI-driven experience powered by OpenAI's cutting-edge GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 models.
Despite the fact that it is currently only available on Android, Microsoft has yet to expand its reach to iOS, though the Bing app on iOS mirrors Copilot's functionality (via Android Authority).
Powered by GPT-4 and DALL-E 3
The true marvel here is the technology that powers Copilot. Copilot is essentially an everyday AI companion powered by OpenAI's formidable GPT-4 and DALL-E 3.
It provides various chatbot-like functions, similar to the capabilities of the well-known ChatGPT. Copilot's capabilities promise to streamline daily tasks ranging from answering questions to crafting text for emails and even generating captivating visuals from simple text descriptions.
What distinguishes Copilot is its complementary nature: users can harness the power of GPT-4 at no cost, making it a cost-effective AI tool for Android users.
What to Expect from Copilot
Microsoft's description on the Play Store paints Copilot as an indispensable AI assistant.
The app's About section reads:
"Your everyday AI companion
