Microsoft's Bing powered by ChatGPT is open to everyone, starting today

Yesterday, 7 February, Microsoft held an event dedicated to artificial intelligence and its integration into the company's products. Of course, the most anticipated novelty was the updated Bing with built-in ChatGPT and it is already available to all users in the form of a "limited preview". That is, you will have a limited number of queries that you can use, but you can sign up for a list to get early access to the full version.

If you go to Bing.com now, you'll see examples of AI-powered searches that you can try right now (assuming you're shown the redesign). Clicking on one of these recommendations will take you to a standard search page with traditional results on the left, but with a chat box on the right with an answer generated by artificial intelligence. You won't be able to ask additional questions or clarify the results until you have access. If you try to search for something using your own query, you will get the standard Bing results, even though they will be in a new style.

If you want to get access to the full version of the updated Bing, you can sign up for a waiting list. Microsoft says you'll get a higher priority if you sign in with a Microsoft account and install the Bing app. According to the answers to the FAQ, you will receive an email when you are granted access. The company now plans to provide access to millions of users and roll out a mobile version.
