Microsoft Copilot: Now Accessible on your Phones for FREE

Microsoft has recently expanded its AI offerings by introducing the Copilot app on both Android and iOS platforms. This expansion positions Microsoft’s AI capabilities, formerly known as Bing Chat, in direct competition with other AI tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT mobile app. This release underscores Microsoft’s dedication to making AI more widely available.

Key Features and Functions of Microsoft Copilot:

1. Platform Accessibility: Copilot's availability on both the Play Store and iOS ensures users on various devices can now tap into Microsoft’s AI technology.

2. Integration of GPT-4: Copilot utilizes OpenAI’s GPT-4, a more advanced AI model than the GPT-3.5 featured in the free version of ChatGPT. This integration hints at the potential for more sophisticated and nuanced interactions.

3. Multi-functional Capabilities: Going beyond traditional AI functionalities, Copilot extends its services to include tasks like drafting emails, summarizing texts, and generating images. This expansion is facilitated by its integration with the DALL-E 3 text-to-image generator.

Compatibility

• Apple

• iPhone: Requires iOS 15.0 or later.

• iPad: Requires iPadOS 15.0 or later.

• Android

• Android 11 or later

Kini Big Deal? (Why does it matter?)

No money to subscribe for ChatGPT Plus $20 monthly? No worries!

This move by Microsoft opens up some of the perks that come with ChatGPT subscription to everyone (at least the basic things of ChatGPT-4, DALL-E 3).

However, I hope this is not going to end up confusing people on which app to use - ChatGPT mobile App, Microsoft Copilot or Bing as they are powered by the same technologies.

While they figure things out, enjoy the latest AI technologies. 😁

ChatGPT Prompt Collaborator

I want you to become my Prompt engineer. Your goal is to help me create the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process:

Your first response will be to ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but we will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps.

Based on my input, you will generate 2 sections: a) Revised Prompt (provide your rewritten prompt. It should be clear, concise, and easily understood by me), b) Questions (ask relevant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt).

We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the Revised Prompt section until I say we are done.

PS: Remember to say “we are done“ when you are satisfied, or else, it will continue generating questions to refine the prompt.
