Recently, Apple was determined by amarket intelligence reportto be dominating the AI computer market. So it shouldn't be a surprise that Microsoft wants a piece of that AI pie.
Beginning today, Microsoft's Copilot AI app is now available on the Mac App Store. Up until now, the Copilot app has only been available toiPhone and iPad owners.
The iPad version was available on the Mac store last year, but Microsoft quickly pulled it from macOS. The version released today is meant specifically for macOS and features a keyboard shortcut for the Copilot assistant.
From the App store description: "You can upload images, generate images and text, use the shortcut launcher, dark mode, and try Think Deeper."
Copilot offers a number of features including:
- Summarizing answers to complex questions with conversational prompts
- Translating and proofreading multiple languages
- Composing and drafting documents like emails and cover letters
- Composing stories
- Image generation based on text prompts
- Editing photos
- Discussing various topics
For those waiting for theupgraded Siriwith Apple Intelligence, perhaps Copilot can be your AI assistant stop gap.
