Motorola announced on Wednesday that Microsoft’s Copilot Vision feature will be integrated into the Moto AI suite of features. The Lenovo-owned smartphone brand said the onboarding of the Copilot feature is an extension of the existing partnership with Microsoft. With this, the company will offer users with a Moto AI-enabled device to access the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered computer vision technology in select countries. Additionally, Motorola also announced that its upcoming devices will ship with the Copilot app.
Motorola Razr and Motorola Edge Users to Get Copilot Vision Access
The smartphone brand announced that Copilot Vision will be available as part of its Moto AI suite on select Motorola Razr and Motorola Edge series devices in the US, India, and other markets where the feature is already available. Moto AI is available on select Motorola Razr and Motorola Edge devices.
To use the feature, users will need to create a new Copilot account or log into their existing account. Since it is not an on-device feature, Copilot Vision will require active Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. The feature is managed by Microsoft, so the company’s terms and conditions, as well as the firm’s data collection policy, will apply.
Interestingly, on Motorola devices, Copilot Vision will be able to access the device’s camera, analyse the user’s surroundings and respond to their queries. This capability is not available on the desktop version of the feature. It features a real-time two-way voice mode, allowing users to interact with the chatbot hands-free. However, it is unclear if the visual assistant can see and assist users with the content on their screen.
Addressing privacy concerns, Motorola said Copilot Vision is an opt-in feature, and the chatbot won’t be able to access the device’s camera or microphone, until users turn it on. They can also test out the Vision feature before signing in to Copilot.
Once added to Motorola devices, Copilot Vision will directly compete with Google’s Gemini Live. The latter can also do everything Microsoft’s visual assistant can, and users can also share their screen and seek assistance in real-time. Gemini also has another advantage over Copilot as it is the default voice assistant for all Android devices.
