At a surprise event on Tuesday, Microsoft debuted a brand new new ChatGPT-powered Bing experience.
The updated engine will be available today for everybody as a “limited preview” on desktop. You’ll have a limited number of queries that you can use with it, but you will be able to sign up for full access soon.
Available now in a “limited preview” at Bing.com, it appears the new search will provide traditional results alongside an AI chat window.

To enable Bing’s AI-powered features, Microsoft’s working with OpenAI, the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot. However, Microsoft claims that it’s using a “next-generation OpenAI large language model” that’s even “more powerful than ChatGPT.”
According to the Verge: “With the new Bing, users can input queries up to 1,000 words long and receive annotated AI-generated answers that will appear alongside regular search results from the web. Microsoft’s also adding a way to refine these results using a new built-in chatbot on Bing.”
Microsoft announced the news just one day after Google revealed that it’s working on a similar AI-powered tool called Bard, launching a likely AI “space race” between the tech rivals.
