Microsoft Copilot Expands to Telegram
Microsoft is continuing its expansion of Copilot, its AI-powered assistant, by introducing it as a bot on Telegram. The move brings the service to one of the most popular messaging apps worldwide.
To use the Copilot bot, users will need to verify their phone number. Microsoft assures that the phone number will be used solely for verification and will not be stored. However, it’s important to note that the service is currently unavailable in the EU.
Integration with Other Messaging Apps
Microsoft has hinted at its plans to integrate Copilot with other messaging apps, including WhatsApp. While details are yet to be released, the company’s “copilot-for-social” project suggests a broader vision for Copilot’s role in communication.
Limited Features and Usage
The Telegram bot for Copilot has a daily limit of 30 messages. It is built on a combination of GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Microsoft’s own models. Currently, users cannot switch between different language models like Precise, Creative, and Balanced.
To find the Copilot bot on Telegram, search for “@CopilotOfficialBot”. Users should be cautious when selecting from the search results, as some bots may imitate the Copilot logo. Ensure that the selected option has a verification badge.
The Copilot bot offers three commands: /restart (restarts the chat), /share (shares the bot with friends), and /ideas (provides usage suggestions). Microsoft’s recent announcements at its Build Developer Conference have highlighted the growing importance of Copilot in the company’s strategy. As Copilot continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how it integrates with different platforms and enhances user experiences.
