Microsoft Brings Copilot AI to Android Launcher
0Microsoft Brings Copilot AI to Android Launcher
Microsoft is embracing artificial intelligence (AI) as a key part of modern operating systems, and the company has launched the Copilot+ PC program for Windows devices like the new Surface Laptop. But that's not all – Microsoft has found a way to bring Copilot to Android's homescreen with an upcoming version of Microsoft Launcher.
The integration of Copilot into Microsoft Launcher is currently in beta, so you'll need to join the beta program if you want to try it out right now. Alternatively, you can wait for the testing phase to complete and jump on the stable version when it's released.
With the beta version of Microsoft Launcher, you can start a chat with the AI using the Bing/Copilot button in the search widget. Additionally, the latest version of the beta also integrates Copilot into the Feed (the leftmost homescreen pane) where the Glance and News tabs currently reside.
According to the changelog, Copilot in Microsoft Launcher offers several exciting features:
Effortless Access: Copilot is now just a swipe away, ready to assist you with answers and content creation.
Creative Power: Generate images and text directly from your mobile feed using simple words.
Pro Performance: For Copilot Pro users, enjoy a more responsive and swift interaction.
When using Copilot, you can type in your questions or use voice input. Additionally, you can open an image from your gallery and ask questions about it. However, it's important to note that Copilot is currently quite limited in its functionality – for example, we asked it to set an alarm or turn off the phone's Wi-Fi, and it couldn't perform those tasks.
Copilot will gain more functionality in the future through plugins. Currently, there are only three available: Search (enabled by default), Instacart (for recipes and meal plans), and Kayak (for searching flights, stays, and car rentals). As Copilot becomes more popular on Android, we can expect more companies to build plugins for it, expanding its capabilities.
