Microsoft has been making waves in the artificial intelligence (AI) space with its new Bing Chat AI, a chatbot that integrates with Bing search engine and Microsoft Edge browser. Bing Chat AI aims to provide a copilot for the web, helping users find answers, create content, and complete tasks using natural language. Here are some of the latest developments and features of Bing Chat AI.
After a period of limited preview, Microsoft has announced that Bing Chat AI is now generally available to all users. This means that anyone can access Bing Chat AI by signing into Microsoft Edge and selecting the Bing chat icon in the browser toolbar. Alternatively, users can also access Bing Chat AI on the Bing app or the Bing website.
Bing Chat AI is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, which is one of the most advanced language models in the world. Bing Chat AI can understand and generate natural language across 105 languages and 169 countries. It can also access the web and provide current and cited information through Bing’s search engine.
Bing Chat AI supports visual search and multimodal interaction
One of the most exciting features of Bing Chat AI is its ability to perform visual search and multimodal interaction. Visual search allows users to ask questions about images or videos and get rich and relevant answers. For example, users can ask Bing Chat AI to compare products, identify plants or animals, or find similar images or videos.
Multimodal interaction enables users to interact with Bing Chat AI using voice, text, or touch. Users can speak to Bing Chat AI using their microphone, type their queries using their keyboard, or tap on their screen to select options. Bing Chat AI can also read aloud its responses using text-to-speech technology.
Bing Chat AI supports multi-session productivity and chat history
Another useful feature of Bing Chat AI is its support for multi-session productivity and chat history. Users can continue their chat sessions across different devices and platforms, such as switching from their desktop to their mobile phone. Bing Chat AI can also remember the previous queries and responses and provide contextual answers based on the chat history.
Users can also access their chat history and review their previous conversations with Bing Chat AI. They can also edit, delete, or copy their chat messages, as well as share them with others. Bing Chat AI also provides citations for its sources and allows users to open them in a new tab or window.
Bing Chat AI supports platform capabilities and third-party integration
Finally, Bing Chat AI supports platform capabilities and third-party integration, allowing developers and other parties to build on top of Bing Chat AI and enhance its functionalities. Bing Chat AI adopts the same open plugin standard as OpenAI, which enables interoperability across different platforms, such as ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot.
Developers can use the Bing Chat AI SDK to create custom plugins that can perform actions or tasks based on the user’s queries. For example, developers can create plugins that can send emails, book flights, or order food using Bing Chat AI. Users can also access these plugins through the Bing Chat AI interface and use them to accomplish their goals.
Bing Chat AI is a revolutionary product that transforms the way people search and interact with the web. It provides a copilot for the web that can help users find answers, create content, and complete tasks using natural language. Bing Chat AI is also constantly improving and adding new features to enhance the user experience and provide more value.
