Microsoft celebrates six months of its AI-powered Bing and Edge browser, marking a major shift in how users interact with search. Over this period, people engage in more than 1 billion chats and generate over 750 million images, showcasing a massive adoption of the new technology. Additionally, the Edge browser experiences nine consecutive quarters of growth as users seek out these advanced AI tools.
The platform introduces several smart features to improve productivity, including Bing Image Creator powered by OpenAI's DALL-E models. Users easily generate visuals from text descriptions directly within their chats, allowing them to brainstorm and visualize ideas seamlessly. Furthermore, a newly added Chat History feature lets users save, revisit, rename, export, or delete their previous conversations so no valuable insight is lost.
Accessibility expands significantly through the updated Bing Mobile App, which brings full AI capabilities to smartphones and tablets. Mobile users receive complete, cited answers without scrolling through endless links, plus full access to the image generation tools. Handy mobile-specific additions like a homescreen widget and voice input allow users to get quick answers while on the go.
