Microsoft Brings AI-Powered Bing Chat to SwiftKey Keyboards
Microsoft expands its AI-powered Bing capabilities to mobile users by integrating chat, search, and tone features directly into the SwiftKey keyboard for iOS and Android.
Microsoft brings its AI-powered Bing experience directly to mobile keyboards through a major update to SwiftKey. By integrating Bing into this popular third-party keyboard, users access AI features seamlessly across any app on their iOS or Android devices without needing to switch contexts.
The update introduces three core functionalities accessible via a Bing icon above the keyboard. The Chat feature answers detailed queries on the go, the Tone feature adjusts the style of drafted text to sound more professional or casual, and the Search feature allows users to look up information on the web without leaving their current application.
This expansion represents a growing effort by Microsoft to extend Bing's reach beyond its dedicated apps and web interface. Alongside updates to Skype, Microsoft Start, and Microsoft Edge, the SwiftKey integration helps the recently milestone-hitting AI search engine reach millions of additional people globally through their everyday mobile typing.
