As of today, Microsoft is introducing bing chatbot supported in GPT-4 available to everyone so the waiting list should begin to be removed officially. From now on, the only requirement for access is to sign in with a Microsoft account in the Edge browser or in the mobile application to access the always previous version of the chatbot, which the giant is constantly adding new features to. of Redmond.

Microsoft launched a closed previous version last February, which has been gradually opening up until the moment that concerns us in this post. In fact, it appeared that the corporation de facto eliminated the waiting list two months ago, but did not say anything about it on an official level.

Microsoft says there are currently about 100 million active Bing chat users who have started more than 500 million conversations. It also reports that daily installs of the Bing mobile app have quadrupled since Bing Chat was first introduced.

It was announced by the giant from Redmond is working on features like saving conversations that allow users to stop a conversation and pick it up later for a more personalized experience incorporating aspects such as context and other features such as different ways to export and share conversations. On the other hand, things like image generation cannot be forgotten.

The relationship between Microsoft Edge and Bing appears to be fixed in the near future, as the company explains: “Edge Mobile will also soon include page context, so you can ask questions about what you’re seeing in Bing chat on the mobile page. The sidebar’s writing feature can now also customize drafts based on the responses you provide, such as tone, length, wording, and more.

Another feature that Microsoft is working on is use artificial intelligence to complete multiple tasks, such as Edge finding actions to perform and displaying options in chat if the user wants to watch a specific movie. This is in addition to a restaurant reservation engine powered by OpenTable, creating visualizations with Wolfram|Alpha, and answering complex scientific and mathematical questions directly from Bing chat. The company also implements safeguards to ensure that its AI tools are used ethically.

However, Probably the most interesting part is the support for plugins from third parties, about which more information is expected at Microsoft’s upcoming Build 2023 conference, which is mainly for developers, on May 23 and 24. Plugin support can be the foundational pillar that pushes the Bing chatbot to new horizons to expand it forever.

As we can see, Microsoft is clear about its commitment to include artificial intelligence in Bing, which we will see how far it goes when the company has managed to implement all the features it has in mind.
