Microsoft Bing
Microsoft has announced a partnership with OpenAI to bring AI technology to Bing, the company’s search engine. The company relaunched the search engine earlier this week with an announcement that Bing is now “much more powerful” than ChatGPT when it comes to search engine results.
“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search,” said Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella at a press event for Bing. “Today, we’re launching Bing and Edge powered by AI copilot and chat, to help people get more from search and the web.”
You can try the new updated search engine now at bing.com.
From Microsoft: Ask real questions. Get complete answers. Chat and create. Ask your questions – short, long or anything in between. The more precise you ask, the better the answer. The new Bing offers you reliable, up-to-date results – and complete answers to your questions. Of course, it also cites the sources.
How is bing different than a regular search engine? The new Bing builds on the existing Bing experience to provide you with a new type of search.
– Beyond generating a list of relevant links, Bing consolidates reliable sources across the web to give you a single, summarized answer.
– Search the way you talk, text, and think. Bing takes your complex searches and shares back a detailed response.
– In the chat experience, you can chat naturally and ask follow-up questions to your initial search to get personalized replies.
– Bing can be used as a creative tool. It can help you write poems, stories, or even share ideas for a project.
Microsoft Edge Updates
Along with the updated search engine, Microsoft has introduced two new features, “chat” and “compose,” available in the sidebar of its Edge browser. Users can summarize the contents of a page or generate content based on a prompt, respectively.
The new features are available in the Microsoft Edge Developer channel. Click on the Bing logo in the sidebar to access them. Note: access is limited to those who are part of the preview which is gradually adding new users.
