Microsoft is expanding access to its new artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot by bringing the technology to its Bing mobile app for iPhone and Android devices. The move comes less than a week after the company introduced major improvements to its AI-powered search experience.
On Wednesday, Microsoft announced that its latest AI technology would also be available through the Bing smartphone app and its Microsoft Edge mobile browser. However, users still need to join a waiting list before they can access the new features.
Microsoft Brings AI Chatbot to the Bing Mobile App
The new AI chatbot is designed to make searching for information and interacting with Bing more conversational.
According to Microsoft, users can start a chat session by tapping the Bing icon within the mobile application. They can then ask questions, request information, or explore different topics using either text or voice commands.
This integration allows users to interact with Microsoft’s AI chatbot directly from their smartphones without relying solely on traditional search queries.
Bing AI Chatbot Supports More Than 100 Languages
One of the key features of Microsoft’s new AI chatbot is its multilingual capability.
The company says the chatbot can communicate in more than 100 languages, making the technology accessible to users around the world.
In addition, responses can be presented in several formats, including bullet points, standard text, and simplified answers. This flexibility allows users to choose the response style that best suits their needs.
The voice interaction feature also provides a more convenient way to ask questions, particularly when typing is not practical.
Microsoft Expands Its AI Competition With Google
The launch of the Bing AI mobile experience represents another step in Microsoft’s strategy to integrate generative AI into its products and services.
By bringing AI-powered conversations to both Bing and Microsoft Edge, the company aims to make its search engine more competitive and provide users with a smarter way to discover information online.
The expansion also highlights the growing competition among major technology companies to develop and deliver AI-powered search tools.
As AI technology continues to evolve, Microsoft’s integration of its chatbot into mobile applications could change how people search for information, ask questions, and interact with digital services.
For iPhone and Android users, the new Bing AI chatbot offers a more conversational mobile search experience, although access initially remains limited to users on the waiting list.
