Microsoft has made its Bing GPT-4 chatbot available to everyone without a waitlist. Users can access the open preview version by signing in to the new Bing or Edge with their Microsoft account. Bing Chat is being upgraded with new features, including image and video results, persistent chat and history, and plug-in support. The plug-in support will enable developers to extend the chatbot’s functionality. Microsoft is working with OpenTable and WolframAlpha to enable their plug-ins for completing restaurant bookings and generating visualizations, respectively. The company will share more information about Bing Chat’s features at its Build conference later this month. The chatbot originally launched in a private preview in February, and Microsoft has been gradually opening it up ever since. The new features will make Bing Chat more useful and engaging for users. The chat history feature will allow users to keep track of their conversations. The new Bing and Edge Actions feature will enable users to perform tasks directly from the chat window.
