Enhancing Android Experience with Copilot AI
Android users who favor the Microsoft Launcher app are in for a treat as the latest beta update, rolled out on May 27, has introduced Copilot AI. This integration infuses the app with artificial intelligence, offering a suite of multi-modal enhancements designed to streamline content creation and expedite responses to search queries.
The Microsoft Launcher, known for its customizable user interface and personalized feed, now allows users to quickly view documents and utilize in-built sticky notes. With the addition of Copilot AI, these features are taken to the next level, providing users with AI-powered assistance right at their fingertips.
Currently available in beta version 6.240402.2.1139391, the Copilot AI features are exclusive to participants of the beta program on the Google Play Store. The app’s changelog expresses excitement about bringing the AI companion into users’ daily routines, promising a more intimate and enhanced interaction with the Microsoft Launcher.
- Quick access – A simple swipe grants immediate access to Copilot, offering help with content creation and swift answers to search inquiries.
- Generation capabilities – Copilot empowers users to create images and text through straightforward textual prompts.
- Enhanced performance – Those with a Copilot Pro subscription can expect a more responsive and fluid experience.
With the update, a right swipe from the home screen reveals not only Glance and News but now also Copilot. The AI’s features are accessible through an icon on the search bar, a spot previously dedicated to Bing search. Interestingly, the functionality between the standalone Copilot app and its integration within the Android launcher remains indistinguishable.
Our hands-on experience with the beta version of the Microsoft Launcher app confirmed that the text and image generation features, along with the quick responses to search queries, performed as anticipated. The seamless integration of Copilot AI into the launcher offers users a familiar yet enhanced experience, without any noticeable differences from using the standalone app.
