Is Copilot chatting with Gemini to provide answers?

When you input a prompt into Copilot AI, the bot looks over on Bing search and finds the most relevant answers. However, lately, as spotted by a Reddit user, Copilot prompted to Google’s Gemini as a resource of information.

The problem is that the gemini.google.com link from the references doesn’t bring you to the actual information. The question is if Copilot is actually asking Gemini the same prompt and picks up relevant information from the other bot.

So, is Copilot that smart to chat with Gemini and get some scoops that it can’t get from Bing search? If so, that would be only in our best interest, of course, if Gemini’s results would be accurate.

However, a Reddit commenter had one of the most plausible explanation for this situation:

Copilot only searched Bing. So somehow a Gemini link is showing up in the Bing results and Copilot is clicking it.

So, it could be that simple. Someone shared an answer from Gemini, which showed up on Bing, and Copilot picked it up.

Another explanation would be that if a prompt is right on spot with a subject covered by Gemini, Bing brings it up in the search results and Copilot includes the link although it’s not directly relevant to the prompt it received.

Right now, we can’t exclude that Copilot may be using Gemini’s resources directly although that is highly unlikely. Read more about this on MSPowerUser.
