Microsoft Launches New AI Chatbot App for Android
Microsoft has quietly released a new standalone AI chatbot app for Android called Copilot. The app, which is now available on the Google Play Store, integrates the language and image generation capabilities of GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 with GPT-Vision’s image analyzing features. This means that Copilot can provide sophisticated text replies and impressive images.
Copilot is part of Microsoft’s strategy to consolidate all its AI-powered services under one brand. It allows users to perform various AI-enhanced tasks such as asking complex questions, generating visuals, and drafting documents.
Free Advanced AI Features
One notable aspect of Copilot is that it offers advanced AI features at no cost, in contrast to subscription-based models like ChatGPT Plus. This positions Microsoft’s app as a strong alternative to other free or integrated assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Bixby.
The fact that Copilot is powered by GPT-4 makes it an attractive option for those wanting to test the latest AI model without paying for a subscription.
Potential iOS Release
While Copilot is currently only available for Android users, there is speculation about an imminent iOS release. This would allow Microsoft to reach a wider user base and compete with Apple’s virtual assistant, Siri.
Decrypt contacted Microsoft for more information about the app and an iOS release but did not receive a response as their media relations office is on a “wellness break.”
Diversification of AI Assistants
The launch of Copilot adds to the growing number of AI-powered mobile apps in the market. As traditional virtual assistants face new competitors, there is a race towards more advanced and user-centric solutions. Other apps like Poe, Replika, and ChatGPT are also vying for users’ attention.
Existing popular apps like Facetune, Deepl, Grammarly, and Duolingo have also integrated AI capabilities to enhance the user experience across various modes.
