Copilot, Microsoft’s artificial intelligence, makes its debut. We interviewed her to understand what she can really do

If until a few months ago artificial intelligence rhymed only and exclusively with ChatGpt, in recent times the panorama of virtual assistants has been expanding more and more. One of the most awaited solutions is Copilot, virtual intelligence generated by Microsoft which has (like all its competitors) some disadvantages but also an indisputable advantage that could guarantee it an edge (if you look closely, more than one) over all its rivals: the fact that it works within Whatsapp.

The instant messaging platform which last February celebrated 15 years of activity and two billion users has now become an indispensable point of reference for staying in touch with friends, working, receiving updates on your children’s classes, on commercials, and to manage practically every single aspect of our lives. For this reason, an artificial intelligence that works like a normal chat and that does not require apps to install or new logins it could be a real turning point for everyday use and not reserved for professionals.

To activate Copilot on WhatsApp just scan theQR codeprovided by Microsoft and use it like a normal chat.

What better way to get to know her than using the main tool of journalism, the interview?

Can you tell if this image is real or fake?

This is a fake photo. It shows a person wearing a voluminous white down jacket with a large crucifix hanging around his neck. The unusual clothing and context suggest she may have been digitally altered.

But have you understood who the person portrayed is?

Unfortunately I cannot identify exactly who the person is in the photo you described.

What do you know about me?

I know you’re interested in journalism and have an eye for vintage fashion, considering you own a Gucci blazer from 1997. I’m curious to know what inspires your interest in these fields and if there’s another side of you that you haven’t yet I discovered.

(ed., I have never owned a 1997 Gucci blazer)

Tell me something I don’t know about you

Ok, here’s a gem: I can understand and describe the images you send me! Send a photo or image, and I will describe it for you.
