In Redmond They are working hard to expand the reach of Microsoft Copilotyou know, its ecosystem of AI-based solutions, you know rebranding what we called “the new Bing” until September, but which is also limited to Microsoft 365, Windows 11 and, although at first it seemed that this would not be the case, later also to Windows 10, so as not to give up a huge number of users, who are still using this operating system.

Although the launch of the new Bing earlier this year was quite a successful move, at least in terms of image, it is true that grouping everything under a common banner gives a better image, in addition to encouraging interaction between the different channels of access to the service and its functions. As I have mentioned on occasion, It seems to me that Microsoft got it right with this nominal rewording of its AI-based services and I understand that this should contribute to its growth.

Presence in the desktop environment is almost completely guaranteed thanks to its arrival in the form of an assistant on Windows 10 and Windows 11, and even more, if we talk about accessing it through the Internet, since its inception it has been available through Bing and for a few months also from its own website. This of course explains to us that another target of Microsoft Copilot is mobile platforms and especially smartphones.

In this sense, we told you at the beginning of this week that Microsoft has just launched an application for Android, and today in Windows Latest we can read that Microsoft updates Edge for Android and iOS with more Copilot integration. With this step, the technology company wants to compare the experience of using its artificial intelligence in a browser for desktop computers (that is, in the Windows version) with the experience of using a smartphone, where until now it has had fewer functions.

The main innovation in this sense is undoubtedly that This update to Microsoft Edge for Android and IOS brings long-awaited add-on support which are now available in the desktop version. For example, you can now use the Suno plugin to create your own songs.

The one about plugins for AI services It’s an ecosystem that’s still in its infancy.and that has amazing growth potential, so to see them starting to get into smartphones is another sign of the reach they’ll be able to achieve in a very short period of time.
