In February, Microsoft announced the launch of the new Microsoft Bing AI search. Now available for everyone, Bing AI takes research and content creation to new levels. Businesses already find powerful uses for the tool, and the possibilities continue to expand almost daily as AI technology matures.
With the latest version of Microsoft Edge, users can access Bing AI either as part of the main browser window or in a sidebar. The sidebar offers additional insights relevant to the current page, as well as a Compose tab for content creation.
To access Chat in the main browser window, click the Chat tab next to the Search tab under the Search bar, as indicated below.
Or, to access Bing AI in a sidebar, click the Bing icon in the upper right corner of the browser. The sidebar displays to the right of the current page.
In addition to Microsoft Edge, users can also access Bing AI search in Windows 11, as long as they are running the Windows 11 22H2 build on their PC or laptop. Mobile users can access Bing AI using the Bing or Microsoft Edge apps, as well as the Swift Keyboard. All three mobile options are available on both Android and iOS.
Bing AI differs from traditional search engines in several key ways. In the first place, Bing AI allows users to ask complex questions using natural language. They can then dive deeper into a topic or refine their search by asking for more details or additional clarification. Bing provides a summary of its research and includes links back to the original web pages.
For example, a user might ask, “What are some graphics programs that beginners can use?” Bing will generate a list of graphics programs with a paragraph about each one. The user might then ask, “Which is the easiest to use?” At that point, Bing would look at reviews and ratings and offer a suggestion of the easiest program to use. The whole process takes mere seconds.
Additionally, the Bing AI sidebar includes an Insights tab that provides more details about the current page. This includes a detailed summary, a Q&A section, key points, related videos and more. Also, by enhancing the core search algorithm with AI, Bing AI delivers significantly more relevant results to both basic and complex queries.
One important difference between Bing AI and traditional search involves the ability to choose the conversational style. When starting a new chat, users can specify whether they want to continue the chat in one of three modes: Creative, Balanced or Precise.
Creative mode taps into the innovative aspects of GPT. For instance, users can ask Bing AI to create an image or compose a poem using the details they specify. Precise mode may take more time but will return more brief and accurate responses. The default conversation style, Balanced, works well for most search queries.
Businesses in multiple industries have already tapped into the capabilities of AI, and the possibilities seem almost limitless. Some basic capabilities of Bing AI available today include:
For the more technical user, Bing AI operates as a knowledgeable partner. For instance, it can assist with coding in multiple languages. Businesses can also use Bing AI to create powerful chatbots to make customer service more accessible and efficient.
