Microsoft just launched Copilot for Telegram

Honestly, I'd don't use Bing and Co. Too limited. It makes me mad when it avoids topics like Trump or Israeli geography. But this is a big deal for Telegram’s global recognition. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only tech blogger writing in English on Telegram 😉 We might see more non-Russian speaking devs and bloggers here, now that major US companies like Microsoft are on the platform

Moreover, if you’re using a Russian SIM, even if you’re in the UAE or Cyprus, you’ll see:

We're sorry, but as of now Copilot for Telegram is not available in your region. Thanks for your interest

Sanctions, yeah

But I wanna highlight something else. Copilot kind of sets standards of Telegram AI bot’s UX with its wide range of buttons and controls. On the flip side, assistants like Placy use a no-buttons [natural] UX. This is a big topic for our next poll (more to come)
