Microsoft rolls out Bing chatbot to the public

Publish Bing Chatbot

Microsoft today announced the general availability of the Bing chatbot. The search function of the AI ​​(artificial intelligence) dialogue model introduced as an invitation system in Bing and Edge browsers in February has evolved and has become more versatile.

The new Bing chatbot (in open preview) is now multimodal, allowing it to generate responses that combine text, images and video. It also has charting and graphing capabilities like ChatGPT.

A feature coming soon is that past chat histories and conversations will be saved so you can review them and continue discussing previous topics. “Over time, we’re looking at making users’ chats more personalized by bringing context to new conversations from previous chats,” Microsoft said.

In the future, it will support third-party plug-ins to facilitate actions such as hotel reservations, shopping, and task management.

In February, Microsoft installed the AI ​​technology of OpenAI, in which it has invested a large amount, in the search engine “Bing”. The result is a search experience that combines the large-scale language model GPT-4 with a huge search index to provide the most up-to-date and reliable information in a natural conversational format.

Until now, Bing chatbot has been limited to “invitation only”, but it has seen a rapid increase in use, with more than 500 million chats in just 90 days. Bing has over 100 million daily active users, and the number of Bing mobile app installs has quadrupled. As a result, Bing’s share increased, and the Microsoft Edge browser’s share also grew for eight consecutive quarters.

Through its new AI-powered Bing and Edge, Microsoft aims to address a universal problem with traditional search engines and transform the way people find information on the Internet. The company plans to bring Bing’s search functionality into the Windows OS taskbar, and hopes to make chatbot functionality accessible to more than 500 million monthly customers.

The introduction of AI-based chatbots is also progressing among crypto asset (virtual currency) projects. Binance, which operates a major cryptocurrency exchange, has introduced an AI-powered chatbot, Binance Sensei, to its education platform, Binance Academy.
