New Bing Chat Features for Cross-Platform Conversations
Microsoft’s Bing Chat, a product built on the advanced GPT-4 model, now introduces a dynamic upgrade that enables continuous conversations across multiple devices. Users can now initiate a chat on their desktop and seamlessly pick it up on their mobile devices. This feature is being gradually rolled out and is projected to be available for all iOS and Android users within the week.
Edge Mobile Introduces Contextual Chat
Microsoft also launches the contextual chat feature for Microsoft Edge on iOS and Android. This feature, mirroring the Bing sidebar capabilities on the desktop version of Edge, allows the mobile version to understand the context of the user’s current webpage. Users can tap into Bing Chat to ask questions related to the content of their current webpage, or to request a summary of an article or document.
Mobile Widget for Quick Access to Bing Chat
A Bing Chat widget is also being rolled out for iOS and Android devices. This widget can be added to the home screen, providing quick access to Bing Chat. It is designed to make user interaction more convenient and is expected to be available to all iOS and Android users within the week.
Bing-Enabled SwiftKey and Bing Chat in Skype Group Chats
The AI-powered mobile keyboard, SwiftKey, is now enabled by Bing, allowing users to craft messages with selectable tone, format, and length. Furthermore, Bing Chat is now also available in Skype group chats, increasing its utility and ease-of-access for users.
Implications of Bing Chat’s Innovative Features
These upgrades, coupled with the previously launched features such as image and video answers, restaurant bookings, and chat history features, demonstrate Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing Bing Chat’s capabilities. They signify the company’s ambitious plans to continually improve the Bing Chat experience and carve a stronger presence in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
