Benefits of the Bing chatbot and how to use it

What is a Bing chatbot

Microsoft's Bing chatbot is an offshoot of the popular ChatGPT based on the latest version of the GPT‑4 large language model. The IT giant is the main investor in OpenAI, which allowed the corporation to take advantage of the achievements of colleagues and add the capabilities of a neural network to its search engine.

The bot is positioned as a universal tool with an extensive field of application, but its main task is to answer search queries using a neural network better than a standard search engine. Bing Chat will help you write texts, collect ideas and facts from various sources.

What the Bing Chatbot Can Do

Bing Chat can generate text based on a given topic and is able to add partially finished fragments. One of the most important differences between the Microsoft bot and ChatGPT is a direct connection to the Internet to search for up-to-date information.

The system offers answers in three styles: creative, balanced and precise. The first is better suited for creative tasks when you need to come up with something non-standard. In this mode, the bot can also joke. The second is useful for most requests - you will get meaningful answers with examples and explanations. The third option is worth choosing when looking for facts and background information. With this setting, Bing gives short answers that are most often true.

The chatbot from Microsoft supports hundreds of languages, including Russian. English remains a priority, but developers continue to develop other areas.

Bing Chat is able to generate and debug code in popular languages, including C++, C, Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, and more. The system can translate records from one language to another. The bot adds its comments to the generated code. He can also be asked to explain already written fragments. The service will tell you how the functions work and why the specified lines lead to a specific result.

Bing Chat periodically makes mistakes and gives strange answers, so the information should be treated carefully and double-checked. The bot can point out the shortcomings and try to generate a new version, in which inaccuracies or confused facts will be corrected. Also, with the help of the service, it will be possible to improve the already prepared text.

The chatbot refers to code sources or articles with information used from them, if they are taken from the public domain. Bing Chat adds links to web pages immediately after its response.

In addition, the bot can analyze texts and make short refuse. Bing will crawl the referenced material from the link in your question and compile a list of key messages. The system can be asked to compare articles with each other. The chatbot also copes with writing formulas and compiling tables.

How to use BingChat

Chatbot Bing is not officially available in Russia, but it can be launched via VPN service without any problems, by connecting your Microsoft account and specifying the region as the United States. Activate any convenient VPN and go to official page systems.

At the time of the official launch, the bot functioned only through Microsoft Edge, but the developers announcedthat Bing Chat will also be available on Chrome, Safari and Firefox soon. In addition, they promise to integrate the chatbot into all popular browsers and other web services in the future. Right now, the virtual assistant may not open in your preferred program, but it's worth coming back and rechecking later.

To get started in Edge, just ask a question in a new conversation via the input bar at the bottom of the page. You can use text or voice. Using the menu on the right side of the page, it is easy to switch between running dialogs on different topics and delete unnecessary ones.

Ask the bot to find information or, for example, plan a text. Describe important details and the AI ​​will give you hints. At the same time, he will offer several options for solving the problem.

Bing Chat is not limited to text output. It can create graphs based on the given data. Ready paragraphs will be formatted in different styles - it depends on the content. In addition, the chatbot can generate images, using the capabilities of the DALL‑E neural network for this.
