Currently, the feature is available in beta version and is free for all users. However, there is a restriction of 30 interactions per day (30 back-and-forth messages) when using the Copilot.
Available only as a text-to-text chatbot, Copilot on Telegram does not generate images. However, it can access the internet and respond to web-based queries. Microsoft recommends using the AI bot for cheat codes and guide regarding video games hacks, movie recommendations, dating tips, recipes, live scores, personalised playlists, and more.
How to Access Copilot on Telegram
There are two straightforward methods to access the chatbot. Users can visit Microsoft's microsite dedicated to this feature and click on the ‘Try Now’ button to be redirected to the Telegram app where they can find the Copilot chatbot. Alternatively, users can also manually open the Telegram app and search for Copilot.
If users choose the manual method, it is important to verify the authentic Copilot chatbot by ensuring there is a blue check mark next to the name. There are several imitation bots with the same name, and some could be harmful.
