JAKARTA Microsoft added Copilot, a generating Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant, to the Telegram messaging app. On the platform, Copilot can be accessed as a chatbot and become a chatmate. Present in bot form, Copilot can respond to various topics raised by users. This bot will provide answers that add knowledge, provide travel tips, provide movie recommendations, and much more. As a chatmate, Copilot can also be used as entertainment. Microsoft says that this AI chatbot can tell jokes, share funny giffs, or suggest casual games using natural languages. Currently, Copilot for Telegram is only available in beta or testing versions, but all users can already try the bot for free. Users only need to search for the @CopilotOfficialBot account in the Telegram search bar. After finding a Copilot bot with a blue tick, users can directly click the Start option in the chat room. After that, users will be asked to agree with the Provisions of Use and share phone numbers for Telegram. Furthermore, users can ask any questions. Unfortunately, Copilot takes a long time to answer questions. When VOI asks about malware type, the bot takes up to 10 seconds to answer.

However, the answers given are quite detailed. In fact, Copilot includes a hyperlink as a reference. This Hyperlink can be clicked and users will be directed to the Bing website to see more detailed answers from various sources. Copilot for Telegram can be used on devices such as Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. If this bot has been activated on one of the devices, users can directly use the bot when switching to another device.
