Today, Microsoft continued its push to integrate generative AI features into all of its products, announcing a range of small updates to its ChatGPT-powered Bing chatbot and moving the product from a closed, invite-only preview to an open preview that anyone can join. This next phase of the "new Bing" comes just three months after Microsoft introduced it and further demonstrates Microsoft's commitment to putting AI features in all of its products as quickly as possible.
The "Open Preview" phase of the New Bing makes the chatbot and other features available to anyone with a Microsoft Account, and it coincides with a push to make the chatbot "more visual." Bing Chat will soon be able to generate charts and graphs as part of its answers, and the Bing Image Creator will be available in all of the 100-plus languages supported by Bing. A new visual search feature will let you search for images by uploading a similar image to Bing Chat first.
