Copilot comes to WhatsApp, will it compete with Meta AI?

In order to install Copilot on your phone you must scan the QR code shown below and touch the link, which will take you to your messaging application where the chat will start automatically.

It is worth mentioning that it will not be necessary to install any extra application, since everything happens from WhatsApp. In addition, the interaction will begin by default with a greeting and the request to accept the terms and conditions to be able to use the tool.

Although the initial message is in English, you can speak to it in Spanish and the digital assistant will respond to all your requests in the same way it does from the Bing browser or the ChatGPT application.

What can you do with Copilot on WhatsApp?

On this platform you can do everything that Copilot does on computers, that is, from generating texts for a specific job, to images from the Dall-E 3 model, from OpenAI, which is one of the startup’s most current.

In addition, you can ask it to give you information and one of its most relevant advantages is that it provides updated information in real time. For example, I asked him about the schedule for the Mexican Soccer Team match and he gave me the details for the match against the United States at the Akron stadium.

If you prefer to use it as an assistant in your work tasks, you can ask it to brainstorm or offer you proposals for your projects. In addition, you can use Copilot for other types of more personal projects, such as planning trips, creating stories for your children or ideas for a rainy day.

Copilot vs MetaAI

The integration of Copilot into WhatsApp marks a strategic move to offer the Microsoft model on as many platforms as possible and wherever there are users, says Douglas Dawson, the company’s vice president of global communications.

And although Copilot and MetaAI are completely different AI models, one is based on GPT and the other on Llama, this incorporation aims to take advantage of the reach of the instant messaging app, especially in Latin America.

According to data from Statista, WhatsApp is the most used messaging application in all of Latin America, with an average penetration of 92% in all countries in the region, which demonstrates the potential that the platform has for AI.
