It is quite likely that the name of this news is familiar to you, and that hJust a few days ago we told you that Microsoft Copilot has just arrived as a standalone app for Android. As the company has already explained to us during this year, artificial intelligence has become one of its main priorities, and therefore it is making every effort to position itself as one of the main references in this regard. services.

If 2023 was the year of AI-based services mainly through the browser, in 2024 we will see a very interesting competition in the next step of expansion plans, which is none other than the one focused on mobile devices. In this regard, it is true that some services, such as ChatGPT and Poe, already have Android and iOS apps, and that until now, in the case of Google, it was possible to access Bard and Bing from the web, and both on the web and with the Bing app, if we are talking about Microsoft, but both have to go further to get positions.

In a sense, Google has it easier because it’s so easy (which is saying something, because it’s not easy either, because it would have to do a lot of tricks to avoid being caught by the regulators), responsible for Android, where Bard can be perfectly integrated. Not to mention Pixie, the Gemini Mini assistant that will be exclusive to the Google Pixel. And the same can be said about Apple with iOS when it comes to integrating AI into the operating system. Of course, Microsoft does not have this asset, so it has to find other access routes, as much as possible.

This of course explains it to us Just days after the debut of the Microsoft Copilot app for Android, the iOS version is now available. Although that was to be expected, I downloaded and installed the iOS version (I had already installed the Android version when I wrote about it) and after running a few tests I can confirm that they are exactly the same. functions that they offer us. They offer, although there are elements that of course adapt to the peculiarities of each operating system.

So, both offer us access to both GPT-4 and DALL-E 3, although in order to use the latest version of OpenAI LLM, we need to activate it at the top of the interface before starting a conversation. In this case, of course, Microsoft Copilot warns us that the responses may be somewhat slower, although in all the tests I performed on both Android and iOS, I did not notice any problems in this regard.
