Microsoft lance Bing powered by AI and Microsoft Edge for mobile, and unveils Bing integration for Skype. Available on iOS and Android, the Bing mobile app offers a new look and experience, according to Yusuf Mahdi, vice president of Microsoft and director of consumer marketing. Tapping the Bing icon at the bottom will invoke a chat session, where one can engage in the same way from the desktop. You can ask simple or complex questions and receive answers and quotes. You can choose how you want the answers to be displayed: bullet points, text or simplified answers.
With the launch of the Bing mobile app, Microsoft is also adding voice recognition support on mobile and desktop. Additionally, users who have access to the Bing preview experience will be able to access the chatbot in the Microsoft Edge mobile app.
Additionally, Microsoft is also bringing AI-powered Bing to Skype. The more than 36 million people who use Skype every day will now be able to add Bing to their group conversations and have the chatbot answer questions and provide information to the whole group. Bing will also serve as a personalized AI assistant for chat participants.
AI-powered Bing for Skype is available globally for users already enjoying the preview experience starting today. Microsoft said it also hopes to bring the new Bing to other communication apps, including Teams, in the future.
