“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search,” said Satya Nadella, Microsoft Chairman and CEO, in an announcement. Except in Bing’s case, the AI isn’t limited only to data covering up to 2021 - it’s capable of handling queries related to more recent events.Īlongside these AI updates to Bing, the updated Edge browser will be available to preview today. At the event, Microsoft revealed how it integrated OpenAI’s GPT-4 model into its search engine to provide users with a ChatGPT-like experience. The news about Edge was announced alongside the anticipated arrival of OpenAI’s technologies in the Bing search engine, following Microsoft’s $1 billion investment into OpenAI. You can also ask to refine the post by tone, format or length, and Edge understands and updates the draft accordingly. In this case, he gives the AI a few prompts to get it started. (And you thought the corporate posts sounded like bots now!).

In a final example, Mehdi demonstrates using the AI in the sidebar to write a LinkedIn post. To get help with this from the AI, Mehdi highlights the text, which then brings it up in Edge’s new sidebar, then instructs the AI to write the code in Rust. But the code is in Python and the developer wants it in Rust. He shows how a developer who was researching tips on how to parse a JSON file finds a code snippet they want to use. In another demo, he showed off how the AI could be used alongside the developer resources on the Stack Overflow website. Image Credits: Microsoft event photo via TechCrunch
