Microsoft has a number of entry points for accessing its AI chatbot Copilot, such as its Bing app, dedicated Microsoft Copilot app, Swiftkey keyboard, and more. The company appears to be testing a new entry point for the chatbot by introducing the Copilot Beta as a bot on Telegram, allowing users to interact with it directly through the chat app.
First spotted by users on X, the Copilot Beta can be accessed via both Telegram on iOS and Android alongside on Telegram for Web. Microsoft has also made a microsite detailing the features of Copilot Beta on Telegram while stating, “Meet your new everyday AI companion: Copilot, powered by GPT, now on Telegram. Engage in seamless conversations, access information, and enjoy a smarter chat experience, all within Telegram.”
As Microsoft explains via its own website, “Copilot is a personal generative AI assistant powered by GPT model and Bing Search, available within Telegram. Copilot for Telegram uses natural language to provide responses on a range of topics, from seeking knowledge to travel tips to sports updates to movie recommendations. Let Copilot enhance your Telegram experience with its quick-witted assistance and endless curiosity.”

Copilot for Telegram is currently in beta and is also free for all users. Essentially, it is the same chatbot experience as Microsoft’s own app, but via the Telegram App for added convenience for regular users of the chat app. You can chat and ask questions to Copilot on Telegram the same way as you would via Microsoft’s own app, be it creative questions, queries, or anything else.
In our experience, the chatbot works without any issues while the responses are quick and accurate for the most part.
