Mere days after the release of the Copilot app for Android, iPhone users are now being treated the same as well. The Copilot app is now officially available for iOS and iPadOS on the App Store for you to download.

To recall, Copilot is Microsoft’s stab at an AI chatbot, similar to ChatGPT or Google Bard. But unlike the other two, this one prioritises searching for information rather than handling lengthy documents. For example, you can use Copilot to ask questions and get real answers from the web, draft emails and smaller articles. It can also create images from your text, using DALL-E 3, a powerful text-to-image generator from OpenAI.

Copilot runs on GPT-4, the latest and most advanced large language model (LLM) from OpenAI. This means you can enjoy the full potential of GPT-4 for free, unlike ChatGPT, which charges you for using anything beyond GPT-3.5.

Microsoft Copilot was formerly known as Bing Chat, but Microsoft decided to give it a new name and a new look. You can still use Copilot on the web, but it also has its own website, separate from Bing. And of course, you can download the app from the Apple App Store and use it on your iPhone or iPad.
