When we hear the term co-pilot, our minds usually jump to the assistant pilot in the cockpit of an aircraft. But, this time, the word co-pilot is used not to invite you to fly, but to assist you with everyday tasks.
Interesting, right? Let's discuss!
Microsoft Copilot
Before delving deeper into this co-pilot, let's first talk about Microsoft and OpenAI.
What's the connection?
So, since 2019, Microsoft has invested billions of US dollars in OpenAI to build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). For example, in January 2023, Microsoft reportedly poured $10 billion into the San Francisco-based company. In February 2024, Microsoft further invested an additional $80 billion.
Contrary to the common belief that OpenAI is owned by Microsoft, Microsoft is officially listed as a minority economic stakeholder on OpenAI's website.
The ownership structure of OpenAI's shares is somewhat complex, but this doesn't significantly affect Microsoft because Microsoft still has a stake in the development of AI models created by OpenAI, including ChatGPT.
Since Microsoft holds a license for ChatGPT, they have rights over its generative model, distinct from ChatGPT available to the public. Now, Microsoft has further developed this generative model technology through their project called Microsoft Copilot.
It could be said that Microsoft Copilot is one of Microsoft's latest innovations, embodying the concept of a digital assistant to aid daily activities, from simple tasks like replying to emails to more complex tasks like content creation.
Initially, the Microsoft Copilot project was known as Bing Chat, a combined feature of Microsoft Bing and Microsoft Edge. However, as it progressed, Microsoft renamed it Microsoft Copilot.
The name Microsoft Copilot became known to the public during its launch in September 2023 at the Microsoft Build 2023 event. During the launch, Microsoft explained that Microsoft Copilot would be integrated with Windows 11.
What Can It Do?
If your laptop or computer is running Windows 11, you can move the cursor to the bottom right corner where the Microsoft Copilot icon is located. Then, you can directly input prompts into the textbox as desired.
With a minimalist design like ChatGPT, you won't have trouble using Microsoft Copilot. The difference is, while you need to open a browser to use ChatGPT, you don't need to do so with Microsoft Copilot.
Very simple, right?
Even cooler, with the generative models ChatGPT-4 and DALL-E 3, Microsoft Copilot exhibits much higher responsiveness and accuracy compared to ChatGPT for the public.
Need to reply to emails but busy with other work? Microsoft Copilot is the solution. Want to create a YouTube video summary in text form? Microsoft Copilot is the solution. Need to generate AI images but have no time? Microsoft Copilot is the solution. Or just want to have a casual Q&A with AI? Microsoft Copilot is the solution!
Well, as per its tagline "Your Everyday AI Companion," Microsoft Copilot can assist with almost all of your daily tasks, especially those related to text and visuals. So, Microsoft Copilot is truly a combination of ChatGPT and DALL-E in a lighter version.
And it doesn't stop there—Microsoft Copilot can also be used by iPhone and Android users. You can directly install Microsoft Copilot from the Apple Store or Google Play Store for free!
With this, everything becomes even simpler, right? But, is there anything simpler than this?
