The company has been testing these features in limited previews for the last three months with a restricted group of users. Now, these features are coming to Bing and Edge in an open preview, meaning anyone can try these out.
Earlier this year, Bing underwent a transformation with the GPT-4 integration, amassing over 100 million daily active users.
Bing Chat gets new visual search capabilities
Now, Microsoft is adding new visual search features, such as the ability to search using images and generate charts and graphs. The company is also expanding the Image Creation Tool to support over 100 languages.
Microsoft now saves your chat history
With this update, users can now revisit and continue previous conversations. Persistent chats can now accelerate users’ search by recording their queries and responses, preventing repetition, and enabling them to follow up on topics of interest later. Additionally, AI assistants can also mimic the natural flow of human conversation.
Combining together the chat history and persistent chats in the Edge browser, Microsoft plans to offer more relevant search results to users. The company says that it will use users’ chat history and context to provide more personalised and improved answers progressively.
New AI features for Edge browser
Microsoft has launched a redesigned version of its Edge browser, which now integrates more deeply with Bing Chat. The updated Bing Chat features in the Edge sidebar include chat history references, exporting and sharing conversations, summarising long documents, and performing user-requested actions.
Users can now search for a specific movie, and the actions in Edge will display options in the chat sidebar and play the selected movie from the available sources. Edge mobile will also soon support Actions in Edge.
The new Edge will roll out in the coming weeks for Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.
Bing Chat now open to third-party developers for plugins
Microsoft has revealed its plan to open up Bing’s capabilities to third-party developers, similar to how OpenAI opened ChatGPT to third-party plugins. This will allow developers to build features and plugins on top of the search platform. With this, users could soon search for restaurants on Bing Chat and book a reservation through OpenTable or access complex answers through Wolfram Alpha just by chatting with Bing.
