During the holiday season, Microsoft quietly released its Copilot app for Android, iOS, and iPadOS. Users can use the app to access Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat, which works similarly to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

You can type in a question or a prompt, as with other AI chatbots, and receive responses generated by artificial intelligence. The AI assistant can help users draft emails, write stories or scripts, summarize complex texts, create personalized travel itineraries, write, and update job resumes, and more. You can also use the app’s Image Creator feature, which is powered by DALLE 3, to experiment with new styles and ideas, curate social media content, create brand motifs, generate logo designs, create custom backgrounds, build a portfolio, visualize film, and video storyboards, and much more.

“By combining the power of GPT-4 with the imaginative capabilities of DALL·E 3, Copilot not only enhances your design workflow, but can also bring your creativity to inspiring new heights,” according to the description of the application.

According to data.ai, a mobile intelligence provider, Copilot has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times worldwide across both Android and iOS since its launch over the holidays.

With Copilot, you get free access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 technology, which is significant because OpenAI’s GPT app runs on GPT-3.5 technology and charges for GPT-4 access.

Copilot’s mobile launch comes after Microsoft rebranded Bing Chat to Copilot in November. It’s worth noting that prior to the launch of Copilot on mobile, you could get similar functionality from the Bing app’s Bing Chat feature. It’s possible that Microsoft intends to replace the Bing app with the Copilot app, but the company hasn’t said anything yet.

Copilot has already been available on the web for some time, so the mobile launch makes sense. With this latest launch, Microsoft hopes to offer Copilot as a standalone service and further expand its reach.
