Microsoft adds an AI-enabled Bing chatbot to Skype and mobile devices

According to a report, Microsoft, the American technology company, is now planning to bring the AI-based Bing chatbot to Skype and mobile devices two weeks after its initial launch.

GSM Arena, a tech news site, claims that the Bing iOS and Android apps will be the first to receive the feature.

Users who have been invited to the preview would be able to start a conversation with the chatbot through the app's Bing button. To speak their query aloud, users can tap the microphone button or tap their query.

Similar capabilities can also be found on the Microsoft Edge app's iOS and Android homepage. According to GSM Arena, Skype users on all platforms will also have access to Bing's newly discovered intelligence.

Bing can be added to group chats so that anyone can tag it and ask a question, or users can talk to it one-on-one. They can choose to have the response written in bullet points, as text, or as a simplified response that is available in more than 100 languages.

For those who are unaware, Microsoft's response to popular intelligent AI chatbots modeled after ChatGPT is Bing with AI capabilities.

It can elaborately and intelligently respond to your inquiries, whether they are straightforward like "how far away is the moon?" or something more difficult, such as "create an itinerary for a vacation to Japan."

According to GSM Arena, the feature was previously only accessible through the Microsoft Edge desktop browser and is currently only accessible through invitations.

In addition, despite initial difficulties, the company is moving forward with the implementation of its upgraded Bing search engine, which incorporates the ChatGPT technology that powers the viral chatbot.

Microsoft said in a blog post that it will release new versions of its Bing app and Edge browser app on Wednesday for smartphones and tablets so that users can access the upgraded search engine while they are on the go.

Additionally, the company stated that it is adding voice to Bing because one of the most requested features among early testers of the system was the capability to speak commands or ask questions instead of typing them. Additionally, Microsoft stated that it intends to incorporate the technology into its two-decade-old video calling app, Skype, so that users can request information and share it with others in group discussions.
