Microsoft’s Copilot, a versatile AI chatbot known for generating images, browsing the internet, planning events, and more, is now even easier to access via Telegram. This integration allows Telegram users to benefit from Copilot’s capabilities directly within the app. Copilot can assist with searches, answer questions, and engage in everyday conversations, enhancing user interactions through artificial intelligence.
Currently in its beta phase, the Copilot chatbot is available for all Telegram users on both mobile and desktop platforms at no cost. It functions like a regular chat, ensuring a seamless user experience. To verify they are interacting with the official Copilot chatbot, users should look for the username @CopilotOfficialBot and a verification badge.
Microsoft announced this integration on its website, stating, “Meet your new everyday AI companion: Copilot, powered by GPT, now on Telegram. Engage in seamless conversations, access information, and enjoy a smarter chat experience, all within Telegram.”
To start using the Copilot chatbot, users need to search for Copilot Bot in Telegram. The bot will request the user’s Telegram phone number to connect. Although some users might find this step unusual due to Telegram’s strong privacy reputation, it is a necessary part of the setup process.
While Copilot offers a range of functionalities, it does have some limitations. Currently, it only supports text-based requests and cannot generate images, although it can search the internet for information. Microsoft notes that the Copilot chatbot can recommend movies, create workout plans, assist with coding, translate conversations, and provide quick facts from the internet. There is a daily limit of 30 interactions per user.
Originally known as Bing, Copilot has significantly evolved since its introduction over a year ago. Initially limited to text-based answers, it can now also generate images. With its integration into various apps and products, Copilot’s accessibility has improved, making it more convenient for users. Microsoft joins other companies, like Meta AI and Gemini, in integrating AI chatbots into different apps.
