Just a few days ago, Microsoft announced a major overhaul of its Copilot AI assistant. With the aim of improving the user experience, the American company has implemented new tools, such as floating chat windows, and the arrival of dark mode. Four new voices are also available to adapt as closely as possible to Internet users’ preferences. But the most interesting addition undoubtedly remains the arrival of Copilot on WhatsAppaccessible today to all users of the application.
How to get Copilot on WhatsApp?
Rather than relying on a dedicated application, like Gemini and ChatGPT, Microsoft wants to make its AI a daily assistant, capable of slipping discreetly into your DMs. While the rest of the new features announced by Microsoft are still being deployed, the arrival of Copilot is already accessible via a simple QR Code. And good news, the company’s AI companion speaks French.
To get Copilot on WhatsApp, simply scan the QR Code above. A conversation (in English) then opens in your application, and first asks you to accept its general conditions of use. Once your agreement has been received, it will be possible to ask Copilot to converse directly in the language of Molière. Be careful though, the chatbot sometimes tends to switch back to English for no apparent reason. All you have to do is ask him again to switch to French, and he does so without flinching.
Promising, but selective responses
Connected to the Internet, Copilot has the advantage of being up to date with the latest news. He will be able to talk to you about your favorite series just released on Netflix, or the recent announcements around the iPhone 16. On the other hand, he remains silent on certain sensitive subjects, such as American politics and sexuality. Rather than telling us that he does not wish to answer our questions, Copilot prefers not to respond to our requests when a subject displeases him. When you insist too much, he becomes silent for long minutes.
Fortunately, Microsoft’s AI is doing a little better when it comes to generating images. It is in fact possible to ask the AI to create a visual directly from the WhatsApp conversation. The software is not the most convincing on the market, but it does more than what is asked of it, even if it means trying again several times, refining its result with each new request. Once again, we regret that the AI chooses to remain silent when it hits, rather than simply telling us that it is unable to access the requested request.
