Arrr, me hearties! Microsoft's Bing chatbot be gettin' a mighty upgrade with plug-ins, now bein' back in testin'. It be a grand sight fer sore eyes, aye!
Microsoft's Bing AI is getting closer to introducing plug-ins, a feature that has been tested before and has the potential to make the chatbot more versatile and powerful. According to Windows Latest, a small number of Bing Chat users have already received the update to add plug-ins. It seems that this rollout is only happening for those using the Canary version of Microsoft's Edge browser. The AI currently offers five plug-ins, and testers can choose any three to use in a session.Windows Latest tested a couple of these plug-ins and found them useful, with the OpenTable add-on providing restaurant recommendations. Other plug-ins in testing include Kayak, Klarna, and a shopping add-on for buying suggestions. Microsoft plans to introduce more plug-ins over time, including the much-awaited 'no search' function that would allow users to specify that the AI cannot use web content in its responses. Previous test rollouts of plug-ins were pulled, but these new ones appear to be more responsive and better performing.
The introduction of plug-ins to Bing AI is an exciting development that could greatly enhance its capabilities. It remains to be seen how many plug-ins will eventually be available and when they will be rolled out. Overall, this update is a step in the right direction for Microsoft's chatbot and could help it compete with other AI assistants in the market.
