Microsoft adds query history and new features to Bing chatbot
Miscellaneous / / May 04, 2023
At the same time, the waiting list was removed: the service is now available without queues.
Microsoft has announced a major update to the Bing chatbot. He learned to add videos and pictures to the answers, book tables in a restaurant, and also “remember” the history of correspondence. Moreover, everyone can now try out some of these features, given that the bot has moved to the public access stage and no longer requires you to spend weeks on the waiting list.
The main innovation was the ability to perform actions directly in the chat without going to other sites. If a user asks to find a restaurant, Bing can check if there are seats available at the right time and book a table - all without leaving the conversation with the chatbot.
This also works in the Edge browser. If you ask Bing AI to turn on a specific movie, it will find which service it is available on, open the link, and start playing. True, Microsoft has not yet disclosed which services these features will work with. The demonstration used OpenTable to book a table, and Apple TV to watch a movie.
Interaction with Edge has been supplemented at the level of links. If the user clicks on the link suggested by the bot, then the chat will move to the sidebar so that you can see the information and continue to communicate with Bing in parallel.
Also, the chatbot will be able to offer more understandable answers using graphics, pictures and text formatting to make the information easier to understand. In the future, chatbots can be asked to show photos or videos of specific objects, animals, or places.
Bing Image Creator now supports over 100 languages, allowing you to create text-based images right in your chat.
Another important innovation is the history of conversations. You can view it yourself, or ask to find the necessary correspondence through Bing itself. It is also planned to add the ability to export correspondence and share it on social networks.
So far, many of these features are only being tested and will be available to users in the coming months. Meanwhile, Bing is still not available in all countries - and users from Russia have not yet been lucky.
