Our Benchmark: 5 Essential Technical Capabilities

We tested Microsoft Copilot on WhatsApp based on 5 key technical criteria to evaluate its performance in real-world usage scenarios, focusing on its advanced technological capabilities and multimedia versatility.

1. Image Generation and Editing

Test Conducted: We tested Copilot's capabilities for creating, modifying, and analyzing images to evaluate its visual performance.

Microsoft Copilot impresses with its native integration of DALL-E, allowing the generation of high-quality images directly in WhatsApp. The platform offers a remarkable variety of artistic styles, ranging from photorealistic to stylized illustrations. The editing capabilities allow modifying existing images with natural language instructions, while the analysis of uploaded images provides detailed and contextual descriptions. The generation time remains impressive, ranging from 30 to 60 seconds depending on the complexity of the request.

2. Audio Processing and Voice Messages

Test Conducted: Evaluation of audio processing capabilities, transcription, and voice content generation.

Microsoft Copilot on WhatsApp offers limited audio processing capabilities. The tool supports voice input for transcribing audio messages, with remarkable accuracy even with various accents or rapid speech rates. However, it is important to note that Microsoft Copilot on WhatsApp does not have voice output: it cannot respond vocally to users.

The contextual analysis of audio content allows Copilot to provide relevant text responses that take into account not only the spoken words but also the overall context of the conversation. Multilingual support works smoothly, allowing seamless switching from French to English without loss of comprehension quality.
