Comparing OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot mobile apps

by | May 19, 2024 | A.I

OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot are two powerful AI tools that have revolutionized the way we interact with technology. While both are designed to assist users in various tasks, they each have unique features that set them apart.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is a large language model chatbot capable of communicating with users in a human-like way¹⁷. It can answer questions, create recipes, write code, and offer advice¹⁷. It uses a powerful generative AI model and has access to several tools which it can use to complete tasks²⁶.

Key Features of ChatGPT

  • Chat with Images: You can show ChatGPT images and start a chat.
  • Image Generation: Create images simply by describing them in ChatGPT.
  • Voice Chat: You can now use voice to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with ChatGPT.
  • Web Browsing: Gives ChatGPT the ability to search the internet for additional information.
  • Advanced Data Analysis: Interact with data documents (Excel, CSV, JSON).

Microsoft’s Copilot

Microsoft’s Copilot is an AI companion that works everywhere you do and intelligently adapts to your needs. It can chat with text, voice, and image capabilities, summarize documents and web pages, create images, and use plugins and Copilot GPTs

Key Features of Copilot

  • Summarization of Documents and Web Pages: It can summarize documents and web pages.
  • Image Creation: Copilot can create images.
  • Web Grounding: It can ground information from the web.

What makes the difference, the action button for the iPhone

The action button on iPhones, available on the iPhone 15 Pro and later models, is a customizable button for quick tasks. By default, it opens the camera or activates the flashlight. However, users can customize it to perform various actions, including launching a specific app. When set to launch an app, pressing the action button will instantly open the chosen app, such as the ChatGPT voice interface. This integration is further enhanced by the new ChatGPT-4.0 capabilities, which offer more accurate responses, better understanding of context, and faster processing times. This makes voice interactions with ChatGPT smoother and more efficient, allowing users to quickly and effectively communicate with the AI.

 

 

 

 

The ChatGPT voice interface is one of my favorite features, but there’s one thing missing for it to be perfect. Currently, you can’t send pictures or videos during a voice conversation. The workaround is to leave the voice interface, open the chat interface, find the voice conversation in the chat list, and upload the picture there. However, this brings another problem: you can’t return to the voice interface and continue the previous voice conversation.

Microsoft Copilot, if you are reading this, when will you add a voice interface? And when you finally do it, don’t forget to add the picture and video feature I want. That is all for my wishlist.
