Microsoft Bing AI is now open for public testing with tons of new features

If you have been on the Bing AI waitlist, Microsoft has good news for you. The Bing AI chatbot is now open to everyone through the Bing browser on Edge.

Bing AI is Microsoft’s initiative to battle Google’s search engine. The chatbot has been quite successful in a very short period of time, and even the “godfather of AI” called it a serious challenge to Google’s core business. Prior to this, users need to stay on a waitlist in order to use the chatbot. However, Microsoft announced that Bing AI is now open for public testing, and users can test it by logging into Bing in the Edge browser or the Bing mobile app.

Microsoft’s AI chatbot is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4, which is the most powerful language model developed by OpenAI. Besides that, Bing AI will be able to deliver graphs, charts, and formatting in response to a query. Most AI chatbots, including Google Bard, now only deliver text responses.

You can now use Microsoft Bing AI without a waitlist

The Bing Image Creator is also a big part of the company’s efforts to battle Google. As per Microsoft’s announcement, the tool now supports over 100 languages and allows users to search in their native language. Additionally, multi-modal support will be added to Bing Image Creator, allowing users to search the web for related content in a photo.

Another great addition to Bing AI is the ability to access chat history and export them. Microsoft says users can now return to previous chats in Bing and continue their conversation. You can also move your chats to the Edge sidebar for easier access. Likewise, Bing AI lets you share your conversion to social media or export it to a new platform with a fixed format.

Bing AI is also equipped with improved summarization capabilities. The feature makes consuming longer content easier by breaking down and summarizing PDFs, longer-form websites, etc. This feature seems great for students.

Microsoft wants to incorporate third-party plug-ins into Bing AI and make a transition from a product to a platform. The company says third-party plug-ins let users perform various tasks, like making reservations in a restaurant through OpenTable. The Wolfram|Alpha also delivers answers to complex math and science questions.

Finally, Microsoft brings a “sleeker and enhanced” user interface to the Edge browser by adding a streamlined look, rounded corners, organized containers, and semi-transparent visual elements.
