Experience Enhanced Android & iOS Search with Bing’s Latest AI Technology

Microsoft has launched three new AI-powered apps for smartphones. Bing, Edge, and a new version of Skype have launched for Android and iPhone, all with ChatGPT integration.

The apps are available now via the Play Store and App Store, although you do have to join the waiting list to try out the chatbot functionality if you don’t have access already.

AI-Powered Bing Comes to Mobile

Microsoft has been going all-in on AI recently. TheChatGPT-enabled version of Bing caused a storm online as it threatens tototally change how we search the internet .

Now, with around two-thirds of all searches taking place on mobile devices, the company has rolled out new versions of its Bing search app and Edge browser for both Android and iOS with the same technology built in.

The Bing app has a whole new look, and perhaps the most interesting part is that it now supports voice to help make your prompts and searches even more intuitive.

You get started by tapping the Bing icon at the bottom of the screen to begin a chat session. Your responses come in the form of text, bullet points, or simple replies, and you can use it for more than just search.Microsoft suggests you might use it to write emails or poems, for example.

The chatbot is also built into the Edge browser, where you can access it via the homepage.

Skype Gets AI Features

In addition to those apps, Microsoft has added AI-enhanced Bing support to Skype, the venerable voice and chat app. The idea here is not to get the AI to have conversations on your behalf, but to add similar search capabilities to group messages.

“If your family is chatting about the next family reunion, you can simply ask Bing for suggestions on travel destinations, expected weather forecasts and interesting events around your time of travel, and everyone in the chat will get access to the results.”

To access this feature, you simply need to add Bing to your group chats as you would any other contact. It’s available worldwide and can respond in over 100 languages.

Test Out AI Chat on Android and iPhone Today

It was only a matter of time before AI chatbots made the move to mobile. The new version of Bing has certainly shaken up the industry—although it hasn’t been without controversy.

The service frequently hits the headlines thanks to its willingness to churn out incorrect information with complete confidence (and get surprisingly argumentative about it). Microsoft also acknowledges that the performance might be limited in these early days due to bandwidth issues.

And in its mobile form, it is still very much a search tool, so is not something that’s going to be replacing Google Assistant, Siri, Bixby, or any other voice assistant any time soon.
