Microsoft has recently launched its Copilot app for Apple iOS and iPadOS users too, after its successful launch for Android users. Both the versions are available on apple app store.This exceptional step taken by the tech giant microsoft marks a significant stride enhancing the expansion of artificial intelligence across diverse platforms. Let us understands what copilot is and how it will help users
Copilot app, previously known as Bing chat, is an Artificial Intelligence chatbot which is designed to enhance productivity and creativity. By leveraging copilot one can get real answers to its own questions,effective solutions for different inquiries, projects and to-do list. It allows users to create images,summarizing texts, and many more. It is already integrated in windows 11 and 10 operating systems which means that users can also access the Copilot app on PC and laptops as well. It is available in Microsoft’s Edge browser.
It is an AI-powered chatbot which is supported by the latest advanced AI models like GPT-4 and DALL-E3.It works similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT mobile app. Copilot harnesses the latest GPT-4 large language model of OpenAI.However, during testing users are limited to get 30 responses at a time and will have to enable GPT-4 functionality in the app.
Difference between Copilot and ChatGPT AI model
For IOS/ipad, the Copilot app doesn’t store chat conversations of users i.e. they can’t see the previous conversations with the chatbot. On the other hand ChatGPT, which uses both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models, saves the chat history of users, which allows users to access their chat history anytime. However, ChatGPT is not free. Users have to pay a subscription amount of 20 dollars to access the GPT-4 model, whereas the Copilot app gives you free access to GPT-4 and DALL-E3 models.
Another significant difference between Copilot and ChatGPT is that the Copilot app doesn’t ask you to sign in to the chatbot, which makes it easier to start chatting with the chatbot. However, if you sign up to a Microsoft account , you will get some benefits such as longer chats and more features. ChatGPT, on the other hand, always requires you to sign in to use the chatbot.
