How Microsoft’s new AI-powered Bing, Edge impact you?

Open to preview:

The new Bing is now open to preview and has no waiting list, which means users can try the new Bing and Edge by simply signing into Bing with their Microsoft account. 

Visual answers

Bing Chat will now give visual answers with supporting charts and graphs and updated formatting. This will help users to find and process information easily, as per Microsoft. 

Bing Image Creator

Microsoft expanded Bing Image Creator to more than 100 languages on Bing. Users will now be able to create images in their native languages on Bing Chat. 

Multimodal support

With the upcoming multi-modal support on Bing chat, users can upload images and search the web for related content. So, if you don’t know the name of a product and how to use it, just upload an image of the product on Bing chat and get all the information that you want. 

Multiple chat sessions

Microsoft Bing Chat’s new chat history feature will allow users to pick from where they left and access their previous chats and searches for more information from them. 

Export and share chat

Users can also export and share their chats with others on platforms like social media to continue building on an idea. 

Chat Personalisation

This is an upcoming feature on Bing Chat. Microsoft said it is exploring to make chats more personalised by bringing context from previous chats into new conversations. So, users will be able to build more on a topic without losing track of their work. 

Improved summarisation capabilities

Bing chat will soon have improved summarisation capabilities for long documents, including PDFs and websites. This will make it easier for users to consume dense online content.

Perform tasks

This is an upcoming feature on Microsoft Bing chat. It will allow a user to assign a task to AI to complete with fewer steps. 

For example, if you want to watch a particular movie, actions in Edge will find and show you options in chat in the sidebar and then play the movie you want from where it’s available. 

 Third-party plug-ins

Microsoft will soon build third-party plug-ins into Bing Chat to create a platform for developers. For example, if a user is researching a restaurant for dinner in Bing chat, it will leverage Zomato to help him find and book a reservation.

“We are working with our partners at OpenAI to make it easier and as consistent as possible for developers to take advantage of this opportunity,” Yusuf said. 

Redisgned Microsoft Edge

Redesigned Microsoft Edge will have an enhanced user interface including a streamlined look, rounded corners, organized containers and semi-transparent visual elements.
