Microsoft has launched a chatbot based on OpenAI’s GPT-4 for the messaging app Telegram. Dubbed Copilot, the chatbot will enable users to make searches, ask questions, as well as engage in day-to-day conversations with the chatbot, thereby improving user experience through artificial intelligence (AI). Moreover, Copilot can respond to a wide range of topics covering sports, travel, fitness, and movies. 

Being a text-to-text chatbot, Copilot will not generate images, though. Powered by OpenAI's GPT AI model, Copilot is integrated with Telegram. It leverages Microsoft's Bing search to produce accurate and desired responses. Microsoft says the chatbot is currently in its beta phase, and is free for all users. It is available through @CopilotOfficialBot on mobile (Android, iOS) and desktop apps (macOS, Windows).

'Copilot for Telegram uses natural language to provide responses on a range of topics, from seeking knowledge to travel tips to sports updates to movie recommendations. Let Copilot enhance your Telegram experience with its quick-witted assistance and endless curiosity, said Microsoft in a blog post.

Currently, Copilot is available with 'very limited features' for users. According to The Verge, there is a daily limit of 30 turns (30 back-and-forth messages) between the user and the chatbot. But, users will get to see more features and capabilities after the bot's official rollout.
