Microsoft has released its Copilot app, previously known as Bing Chat, for Android, iOS, and iPadOS devices.

"Microsoft Expands Copilot AI to Mobile with New iOS and Android Apps"

Microsoft has expanded its AI offerings by launching Copilot apps for Android and iOS, featuring capabilities such as text-to-text, text-to-image, and AI-powered search with options to use GPT-4 or a lesser language model, and the Dall•E image generator.

Initial reviews suggest the apps are competent, offering convenience in text-to-text services, but may not significantly alter established user habits in search and image generation. However, Microsoft could gain an early advantage in the text-to-text app market before Apple and Google integrate similar features into their operating systems.
