[harlan4096]

Microsoft has released a Copilot app for Android devices. We take a closer look at how the new A.I. chat app works.

The Redmond company has not abandoned the Bing chat app, it's still there. While Bing Chat is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4, Copilot combines GPT-4 and DALL·E 3 for a more enhanced experience.

Chat with Microsoft Copilo

Microsoft Copilot is quite similar to the ChatGPT app. It offers some ideas for you to start a conversation. Tap on it to interact with the chatbot. Or, you can ask it to generate some text content like a poem or song or essay, letters, mails, code, etc. The app displays the relevant information as it is generated, and presents them in an easy-to-read manner. It also links to the sources that were used to pull the data from.



A conversation has a limit of 30 responses, after which you will need to start a new chat. The app displays some suggestions after every result, you may use it to continue the conversation, or tap on the keyboard button to type your query.



For example, you can ask Copilot to show some inspirational quotes, and it will show you a bunch of motivational quotes. It doesn't stop there, it also displays images that have inspirational quotes. So the experience is quite similar to a web browser than just a text-based chat app, which is quite impressive.



Tap the camera button to take a picture, and use it in the conversation with the chatbot. Or, you can tap on the microphone button at the bottom of the screen to use speech to dictate your query.

And there's more, Microsoft Copilot supports Image Creator, which is powered by Dall-E 3. In a nutshell, this allows you to use text prompts to generate art, logos, etc. The Copilot app has a toggle on the main screen to enable GPT-4 and its features, you can experiment with it. You can use the app without signing in to your Microsoft account, but the app offers limited interactions. When you sign in, you will be able to ask it more questions, and also use GPT-4.
