If you are interested in trying out the latest and most powerful AI models from OpenAI, you don’t need to pay a monthly subscription or use a complex API. You can simply download a free app from Microsoft and chat with GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 on your smartphone.
What are GPT-4 and DALL-E 3?
GPT-4 is the fourth and most advanced version of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer, a deep learning model that can generate natural language texts on almost any topic, given a prompt or a question. GPT-4 can write anything from essays, stories, poems, code, lyrics, tweets, and more. It can also answer questions, summarize texts, translate languages, and perform other tasks.
DALL-E 3 is a variant of GPT-4 that can generate images from text descriptions. For example, you can ask DALL-E 3 to draw a cat wearing a hat, a house made of cheese, or a hybrid of a shark and a giraffe. DALL-E 3 can also manipulate images, such as changing the style, color, or shape of an object.
How to use the Copilot app
Microsoft has released a Copilot app for Android that gives users free access to GPT-4 and DALL-E 3. The app is based on the Bing chatbot that Microsoft launched in 2023. The app allows you to chat with GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 using natural language, and receive text or image responses.
To use the app, you need to download it from the Google Play Store and sign in with a Microsoft account. You can then choose between three modes: Balanced, Creative, and Precise. Balanced mode uses a mix of GPT-4 and Microsoft’s own language models. Creative mode uses pure GPT-4 and enables DALL-E 3. Precise mode uses pure GPT-4 with a focus on factual accuracy.
You can then type in your queries or commands, such as “write a poem about love”, “draw a unicorn with wings”, or “tell me a joke”. You can also upload images or take photos with your camera and chat about the image content. For example, you can ask “what is this?”, “who is this person?”, or “change the color of this shirt”.
The app has some limitations, such as a maximum of six messages per chat and 60 chats per day. You can also use the app without a Microsoft account, but you will have fewer messages and no access to DALL-E 3.
Why use the Copilot app?
The Copilot app is a great way to explore the capabilities and limitations of GPT-4 and DALL-E 3, without paying for a subscription or using a technical interface. You can also have fun and learn new things by chatting with the AI models. You can ask them anything you want, or give them creative challenges. You can also share your results with your friends or on social media.
The Copilot app is not the only way to use GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 for free. You can also use the Bing chatbot on the web, or the Bing Image Creator for DALL-E 3. However, the app offers a convenient and user-friendly way to access the AI models on your smartphone.
The Copilot app is available for Android here. An iOS version is not yet available, but the iOS Bing Chat app offers the same features. Copilot can be used on the web at copilot.microsoft.com.
