Co-pilot It has become one of the most powerful and interesting generative AI applications to use directly on Android devices. It has differences with ChatGPT, although both are based on the same language models, but The best thing about Copilot is that it offers great versatility. and many possibilities for free.
Microsoft launched a separate Copilot app for Android, but it also incorporated this artificial intelligence. directly in the Edge browserand they recently added more features to Edge’s Copilot for Android, focused on images.
“Co-pilot, give me a picture like this”
Edge is a browser that has become a real alternative to Chrome on Android devices (and computers), and artificial intelligence has played an important role in this. Microsoft’s conversational AI, based on GPT-4you can answer questions in natural language and chat with users, through a simple and clear interface in the browser.
Now, MSPowerUser has discovered a Copilot feature hidden among the Edge settings, which allows analyze and obtain information from images on the web and, in addition, ask Copilot to create images similar to or inspired by those we see on the Internet, taking advantage of DALL-E 3 technology.
Simply hold your finger on an image on any web page and do one of two things: Ask Copilot something like: Can you explain this image to me? EITHER ask Copilot to create a similar image for you using AI.
How to enable this hidden Copilot feature in Edge for Android
This feature is available for development versions of Edge for Android, i.e. versions like Microsoft Edge Developer, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Once the latest browser update is installed, follow these steps:
- Access the Edge browser on your device
- Type the following in the address bar: edge://flags
- Press “Go”
- In the search bar, type the following: Mobile copilot chat with images
- Enable this option by selecting “Enabled» among the options
- Restart the browser
That’s it, now the feature will be active, all you have to do is start using it: when you press and hold on an image on a web page, two new options now appear in the menu window. The first is Ask the co-pilotand the second is Generate AI images.
Clicking on the first option will send the image to Copilot in a pop-up window where you can ask the conversational AI anything about that image, as can be seen in the previous example .
The second new option, Generate AI Images, is even more interesting: allows you to ask Copilot to create similar images or inspired by the original imageEssentially creating a sort of prompt based on the image you selected.
In my testing, using an image that shows the classic Android operating system logo next to the logo of the latest Android 14 beta, Copilot created “an Android-related image, showing its logo and an emblem which indicates the specific version”. of the operating system”, fully understand the original image and create interesting images using DALL-E 3 technology.
