Microsoft brings Copilot AI to WhatsApp
Microsoft has officially extended its generative AI assistant, Copilot, to platforms like WhatsApp. Launched last year, Copilot is a powerful tool capable of performing diverse tasks, including summarizing lengthy emails, drafting messages, converting Word documents into PowerPoint presentations, creating images using DALL-E technology, running system commands, coding, and troubleshooting Windows programs.
Users can easily access Copilot from the Windows Start menu by clicking its icon on the toolbar or using the dedicated key found on modern keyboards designed for this integration. Additionally, Copilot can be set up as a digital assistant on Android devices, expanding its functionality to apps like WhatsApp.
