Bing’s ChatGPT should reach more browsers; understand

Microsoft announced new features for Bing Chat – Bing ChatGPT – at Build 2023, its developer conference. Among them were plug-ins from third parties (partners of the company), that is, for the tool to work in browsers other than Edge.

For those in a hurry:

Now, the Bing Chat team is preparing to add support for these plug-ins as part of a major update to the tool, scheduled for June. This is confirmed by Mikhail Parakhin, head of advertising and web services at Microsoft, answering questions from the Neowin website on a social network.

By far the biggest change is a major internal refactoring in preparation for the plug-in to be released on a massive scale. We are turning everything into a plugin (including the different aspects of search!), and this translates into a very significant improvement in metrics.

What’s New in Bing’s ChatGPT (and Beyond)

Parakhin also reported that Bing Chat will add “more context” for users in the chatbot’s balanced mode. Additionally, you mentioned that we can expect “major improvements in disengagement rate (especially for writing code),” which will be welcome for programmers using Bing’s ChatGPT to help in this area.

Another point made by Parakhin is that there will be some improvements to Bing Image Creator, Microsoft’s AI-powered art tool. But details about these improvements have yet to be revealed.

During Build 2023, Microsoft said that Bing Image Creator would soon add a way to tag any image and video with metadata so they can be quickly identified as being generated by AI.

Finally, Parakhin said that Bing Chat updates in June could “hopefully” see the “first experiments to enable third-party browsers.”

This would definitely be a huge game changer for Bing Chat, which, currently, is limited to Microsoft Edge on PC only. Adding support for other browsers i.e. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera will definitely help pave the way for the chatbot to reach more users.
