In a connected world, where the digital space thrives on both connectivity and novelty, MICROSOFT isn’t just following the trends, it is a trend-setter with novel inventions. The latest addition to its bottomless booty of technology is the arrival of the official Copilot bot within the messaging app, Telegram. This is a new dawn to AI chats that now interfaces with the Telegram app. Why will this be such a game-changer in today’s digital space? Let’s find out.
It’s always pursued that level of human-machine interaction that is easier and more approachable, that makes technology more native. Copilot for Telegram, currently in beta, but available for free to Telegram (mobile and desktop) users, is a further step in the direction of this utopian project that aims to connect humans and machines in a more natural, intuitive (and, above all) more useful way.
This feature allows you to message Copilot for Telegram just like you would any regular person on your contact list. Whether you want to search information, ask about just about anything, or even just chat like you would with any person on your contact list, Copilot for Telegram feels as close to a regular conversation as an AI can probably get. One big factor behind Copilot for Telegram’s ‘instant success’ and virality, writes the author on his personal blog, is that it’s not a chatbot, but an AI integration within a platform (Telegram, in this case) that everyone is already familiar with.
And this is more than just another feature. In the fierce competition on the AI battlefield involving the major tech players, MICROSOFT’s decision to bring Copilot to Telegram was a remarkable step. While Meta introduced its open-source research on AI called Meta AI across its platforms, from Messenger, WhatsApp to Instagram messaging; Google expanded its Gemini within Google Messages on Android phones, MICROSOFT’s choice to release Copilot for Telegram not only demonstrates bold creativity in innovation but also its strategic partnership to cover and expand its AI ecosystem across the platform, to bring its AI to users wherever they are, in the apps they love and use their daily.
But why does this work – in a way, Copilot for Telegram shows genuine signs of humanity? People having conversations with the bot report that it feels less like talking to a robot, and more like talking to another person. This human-factor approach to the design of functionality suggests that MICROSOFT is not only delivering on its technology but, rather, prioritising the human experience. The company seeks to ensure that the design of technology does not detract from, but rather complements and enhances, the human experience.
When it comes to AI and chatbot technologies, protecting user privacy is crucial and MICROSOFT accounts for this by implementing encryption and ensuring that all chat sessions with Copilot for Telegram are private and comply with privacy and data protection regulations. Indeed, given that people might be asking something rather personal or sharing intimate details of their life, security must be upheld, and compliance with prevailing rules and regulations is no longer a mere service; it is also a guarantee of users’ trust in MICROSOFT’s AI.
And we are still only at the beginning of this AI-integrated future. MICROSOFT’s Copilot for Telegram is just the first step. What about educational tools? What about customer service improvement? What about a personal assistant that has a sense for what we need before we need it? MICROSOFT’s insistence on refining AI to expand its capacity to think and feel ‘humanly’, to have empathy for humans, says everything about what it hopes the future will look like: tools for humans which are themselves sensitive to the needs and desires of humanity.
Following its founding principle ‘To empower every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more’, MICROSOFT, now one of the world’s largest corporations, has continued to make advancements in the word of technology, from its humble beginnings in a garage to now innovating in areas of iterative software development, enterprise cloud computing, and AI for the good of society. The company’s most recent initiative to launch Copilot for Telegram is yet another innovation that further exemplifies its dedication to contributing to the further development of the digital world. The future is here to stay and it’s conversational, insightful – and most importantly, human.
