During the holiday season, Microsoft quietly released the Copilot app Android and iOS, along with iPadOS. The app gives users access to Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat, which works similarly to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Like other AI chatbots, you can type in a question or prompt and get AI-generated answers. Users can leverage the AI assistant to compose emails, compose stories or scripts, summarize complex texts, create personalized travel itineraries, write and update job resumes, and more. Additionally, you can use the app’s Image Creator feature, powered by DALL·E 3, to explore new styles and ideas, curate social media content, develop brand patterns, create logo designs, create custom backgrounds , create a portfolio, visualize film and video storyboards and more.

“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 new inspiration,” the app’s description reads.
Since the app’s launch over the holidays, Copilot has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times worldwide so far on both Android and iOS, according to data provided to TechCrunch by the mobile intelligence service provider , data.ai.
With Copilot, you get access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 technology for free, which is very important because OpenAI’s GPT implementation runs on GPT-3.5 technology and charges for access to GPT-4.
Copilot’s mobile launch comes as Microsoft rebranded Bing Chat as Copilot in November. It’s worth noting that before Copilot was released on mobile, you could access similar functionality through the Bing Chat feature in the Bing app. It’s possible that Microsoft is planning to replace the Bing app with the Copilot app, but the tech giant hasn’t shared anything on that front so far.
The mobile launch also comes as Copilot has already been available on the web for a while now. With this latest release, Microsoft wants to offer Copilot as a standalone service and expand its reach even further.
