Microsoft Brings AI-Powered Apps to Mobile
-
Microsoft released Copilot apps for Android and iOS with text-to-text, text-to-image, and search features powered by generative AI like GPT-4 and Dall-E.
-
The apps bring the same functionality found in Microsoft's Edge browser and Bing Chat to mobile devices.
-
Microsoft's goal is to advance its position in search and on mobile platforms where it currently lags behind rivals.
-
The apps function decently with some familiar AI glitches, but may not be compelling enough to change user habits formed over years of using other tools.
-
As first movers in text-to-text on mobile, Microsoft could gain advantage before rivals Apple and Google integrate similar features.
