Microsoft discreetly launches its Copilot application on Android and iOS
Over the holiday season, Microsoft quietly launched its Copilot app on Android and iOS, as well as iPadOS. The app gives users access to Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat, which works similarly to OpenAI's ChatGPT.
A powerful AI assistant for a variety of tasks
Like other AI-based chatbots, you can ask a question or give an instruction and receive answers generated by artificial intelligence. Users can use the AI assistant to write emails, compose stories or scenarios, summarize complex texts, create personalized travel itineraries, write and update CVs, and much more. What's more, you can use the app's Image Creator function, which is powered by DALL-E 3, to explore new styles and ideas, create content on social networks, develop brand motifs, generate logo designs, create custom backgrounds, build a portfolio, view film and video storyboards, and much more.

According to the application description, "by combining the power of GPT-4 with the imaginative capabilities of DALL-E 3, Copilot not only improves your design workflow, but can also take your creativity to inspiring new heights".
A worldwide success since its launch
Since the app's holiday launch, Copilot has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times worldwide, on Android and iOS, according to data provided to Toukiela by mobile intelligence provider, data.ai.
With Copilot, you get free access to OpenAI's GPT-4 technology, which is significant because OpenAI's GPT application runs on GPT-3.5 technology and charges for access to GPT-4.
Rebranding and expanded availability of Copilot
The launch of Copilot on mobile comes as Microsoft rebranded Bing Chat as Copilot last November. Interestingly, prior to the launch of Copilot on mobile, you could access similar functionality via the Bing Chat function in the Bing app. It's possible that Microsoft is considering replacing the Bing app with the Copilot app, but the tech giant hasn't shared anything on the subject yet.
The mobile launch also comes at a time when Copilot has already been available on the web for some time. With this latest launch, Microsoft aims to offer Copilot as a stand-alone service and extend its reach even further.
