Bing AI: Redefining Search for a Smarter, More Connected World

After the huge popularity of ChatGPT, Microsoft launched Bing AI chatbot in partnership with OpenAI. If you are unaware, ChatGPT is a product developed by OpenAI. However, the Windows manufacturer inked a deal with the Sam Altman company to integrate OpenAI API into Bing search engine. The company conducted a mini-launch even on February 8. Google also jumped into the AI bandwagon and announced the launch of Bard AI. In this review, we will examine the different ways to access Bing AI.

Installation

You can access Bing AI chatbot directly on the cloud. Hence, you need not have to perform any installation. Microsoft hasn’t released any tools using which you can access the AI chatbot from your desktop. The entire platform runs on high-powered machine language servers.

Working with Bing AI

Microsoft initially launched Bing AI under waitlist mode. The company slowly gave access to users based on server strength. However, Bing AI is currently available without waitlist. You can just register with your Microsoft credentials and join the AI party. To access Bing AI, you should navigate to Bing home page as shown below.

The next step is to select Try it button. Bing displays the search results based on the random question you viewed on the home page along with AI-generated results on the right side.

If you scroll down and select see more option, you will view a button captioned “Let’s chat”. You will view Bing AI user interface as shown below

You can now start typing your query on the “Ask me anything” textbox. You can provide queries up to 2000 words. If you click outside the textbox, it will shrink. If you click inside the text box, you will view the expanded box. You can further extend it by using the icon located on the bottom right-hand side. You can refresh the existing chat session by selecting New Topic button.

You can ask query based on your interests and requirements. Let’s start with the query “can you give me a recipe on Idly“. There is no need to give question mark and follow other formalities. Bing generates the results in detail as shown below.

Bing also displays follow-up questions. You can either select them or provide your own question. If you select “What is coconut chutney”, Bing generates the recipe in detail along with a short intro on what chutney is all about. You should note that the reply will be lengthy in some cases. Bing fetches the results by scanning the Bing search engine database. You can continue to generate results based on the AI-generated query. You can interact with Bing in an interactive way.

How to access Bing AI via Microsoft Edge Browser

Microsoft Edge browser ships with Windows operating system. The market share of the Microsoft Edge browser has increased after the launch of Bing AI. Microsoft recently integrated Bing AI directly inside the Edge browser. You will find the Bing AI logo on the top right-hand side as shown below.

You will view the following screen upon selecting the Bing AI icon.

You can provide queries as you did with Bing AI via the browser. Bing AI chatbot includes powerful capabilities such as the ability to perform calculations, generate source codes, and much more.

The system also generates automated queries. These questions will be useful for students to learn in-depth without referring to textbooks. If you select Compose tab, Bing AI will generate automated messages based on the query provided.

You can select a preferred tone and format including length. You can easily generate a birthday, wedding anniversary wish, and much more. Please note that the response will not be accurate and you will be required to add your own content based on the context. The Insights tab provides trending search keywords, which will help you to view more information including latest trending news.

How to activate Bing AI via Windows 11 Start menu?
