Understanding Copilot for WhatsApp chat automation

If you run a business, you’ve probably noticed this by now: your customers don’t want to email you. They don’t want to fill out a form. They just want to message you, preferably on WhatsApp.
Keeping up with those messages isn’t always easy. One minute you’re answering a basic question, and the next you're trying to dig up an old reply or send someone a price list. It adds up fast.
Now imagine having someone in your inbox who could lend a hand. Not another team member—just a quiet assistant who helps you reply quicker, skip the repetitive stuff, and keep conversations moving. That’s what Copilot for WhatsApp is meant to do. You’re still in the driver’s seat, but now you’ve got backup.
This guide will show you what Copilot actually is, how it works behind the scenes, and why pairing it with Gallabox can make your business chats a whole lot smoother.
What is WhatsApp Copilot?
At its core, WhatsApp Copilot is Microsoft’s AI—yes, the same tech behind all those fancy Copilot tools—brought straight into your WhatsApp chats.
You don’t need to download anything. You add it like you would a regular contact, and it’s there. You can send it a message like, “Help me rewrite this more politely,” or “Translate this into Spanish,” or even “Summarize this long thread for me.” And it’ll do just that.
It’s not stiff or robotic either. You can speak casually, like you’re texting a colleague. Copilot understands natural language, so if you’re juggling customers, writing product blurbs, or answering FAQs, it can jump in and take some of that off your plate.
How does WhatsApp Copilot work?
When you type a message to Copilot, it doesn’t just spit out a pre-written reply. It actually responds in a way that fits the conversation, thanks to advanced AI.
Here’s what’s going on under the hood:
- First, it reads what you wrote. Not just the words, but the meaning behind them. If you say, “Can you make this message sound friendlier?”—it gets what you’re asking.
- Then, it figures out what to do. Microsoft built Copilot using some seriously powerful AI tools—GPT-4 for writing and DALL·E 3 for creating images. So if you're asking it to draft a product description or turn a sentence into Spanish, it's building that reply from scratch, right there and then.
- It sends the reply right back through WhatsApp. It works just like messaging a regular contact. The only difference is that this one’s a lot faster and never forgets what you asked five seconds ago.
- You can send it voice notes, images, or just plain text. It’ll reply accordingly—whether that means transcribing, generating something visual, or summarizing what you said.
- Copilot doesn’t keep long-term memory of your chats. Once the session ends, it won’t retain what you talked about—so treat each conversation as a fresh start unless you're using it through a signed-in, personalized setup.
- Your data stays secure. Copilot only accesses information you’ve explicitly granted it permission to use. Unless you choose to connect it with tools like your calendar or files, it won’t pull in any additional data beyond your WhatsApp messages.
Key features of WhatsApp Copilot
Copilot isn’t some clunky add-on that interrupts your workflow. It’s built to quietly fit into your WhatsApp chats and lend a hand when you need it. Once you’ve added it to your contacts and fired off a message or two, you’ll start to see what it can do.
