New Bing Chat features and improvements
Microsoft has announced that Bing Chat is updated with new features and enhancements that will make your experience easier and more fun. Here are some of the new things coming soon to Bing Chat:
- Support to save chats: One of the functions most requested by users is the ability to save previous conversations and resume them later. Microsoft has confirmed that this feature will be coming to Bing Chat soon. So you can leave a chat halfway and return to the same point whenever you want. Additionally, Microsoft will automatically move your Bing Chat sessions to the Edge sidebar when you open a link from a Bing Chat reply in Microsoft Edge. In this way you can follow your chat while you consult other web pages.
- Chat customization: Microsoft is also working on personalizing chats by bringing context from a previous conversation to a new one. This means that Bing Chat will remember what you discussed with it and can give you more relevant and consistent responses.
- Share chats on social networks: Another cool feature is the ability to share your Bing Chat conversations on social platforms like Twitter or Facebook. You will be able to export your chats directly without changing their original format. So you can show your friends what you’ve talked about with Bing Chat or invite them to try it out.
- Image Builder Improvements: Bing Chat Image Creator is a tool that allows you to request computer-generated images from a textual description. For example, you can ask him to draw you a cat in a hat or a house on the beach. This tool has created more than 200 million images and Microsoft wants to extend its reach to more users. At first it was only available in English, but with the new update it will be available in more than 100 supported languages. Also, Microsoft is working on adding a new way to search for image-related content on Bing. You will be able to upload an image to the chat and Bing Chat will show you relevant results about it.
- more visual answers: Microsoft also wants to improve the way Bing Chat presents you with the information you’re looking for. It will introduce visuals like graphs and tables and update the formatting of answers to help you find what you’re looking for more easily. Microsoft’s head of consumer marketing, Yusuf Mehdi, stated: “We’re introducing richer, more visual responses, including charts and tables, and updating the response format, helping you find the information you’re looking for more easily.”
- Summarize long content: Another useful feature of Bing Chat is the ability to summarize long content such as articles, PDFs or web pages. You just have to ask it to give you a summary of a text or a link and it will generate a brief extract with the main ideas. So you can save time and effort when reading.
- Edge Actions: Finally, Microsoft will also bring Edge actions to Bing Chat. This feature is designed to take advantage of artificial intelligence capabilities to complete tasks. The goal behind this addition is to improve user efficiency and productivity by eliminating the need to navigate between multiple sites. For example, you can ask Bing Chat to book a flight for you, send you an email, or make a shopping list for you.
Here are some of the new features and improvements coming to Bing Chat in the coming weeks. If you want to try this Microsoft chatbot, you just have to go to bing.com and click on the chat icon that appears in the lower right corner. You can also access it from the Edge browser if you have version 96 or higher.
