Microsoft is celebrating 100 days since the launch of its AI-powered search on Bing with a range of exciting updates to the system. Among these updates is the introduction of chatbot widgets designed specifically for mobile screens on both iOS and Android platforms. See the Microsoft's blog post here.

This new feature aims to provide users with a seamless and efficient search experience right at their fingertips. By simply clicking on the Bing icon, users can directly access the innovative Bing Chat experience, or alternatively, they can utilize the microphone icon to ask questions verbally. With the integration of advanced language technology, powered by ChatGPT, Microsoft positions Bing as an "AI-powered co-pilot for the web," offering users a comprehensive search engine combined with intelligent chat capabilities.

Bing AI widgets come with multilingual support

Since its launch in February, the Bing AI chatbot has undergone significant improvements. Initially accessible only through the Edge browser on computers, phones, tablets, and the Bing app, Microsoft has now made it available as a widget on both iOS and Android devices. Furthermore, Microsoft has made strides in optimizing the chatbot's functionality by integrating it with the Compose feature of the SwiftKey keyboard. This allows users to draft text based on suggested parameters, such as subject matter, message tone, format, and length, enhancing overall productivity and convenience.

Additionally, Microsoft has placed considerable emphasis on improving the chatbot's performance in languages other than English. By enhancing chat quality and refining the user experience, Bing AI chat widgets cater to a more diverse user base and offer personalized assistance on a global scale.
