Microsoft said that itās rolling out more visual features to its Bing Chat AI chatbot this weekāincluding mobile, where Microsoftās AI vision is now becoming more cohesive. Itās a quiet effort to essentially phase out the traditional search box and make search more conversational.
In many ways, the evolution of AI has been like the evolution of the internet: largely text-based, with later additions of graphics and then video. So, too, is Bing: Microsoft originally planned to add visual cards, ads, and graphics, but scaled them down after launchāpossibly because users didnāt like them. Microsoft also took a similar approach with the more creative elements of its Bing chatbot: It leaned strongly into the creative elements at launch, dialed them down significantly after long, weird conversations, than slowly turned them up again. Now, it appears that Bing is slowly going to become more visual again.
This week, Microsoft is promising to add both graphs and ācardsā of topics to Bingās AI chatbot, as the company promised earlier this month. Specifically, youāll be able to ask for a video in chat and watch the video within the chatbot, on various services. Perhaps more usefully, youāll be able to see summaries of information around a given topic, known as a āKnowledge Card.ā For that matter, youāll be able to use Edge for summaries of longer documents, too. Many of these features may not appear in Chrome, howeverājust in Edge, where Microsoft has more sway.
Microsoftās promised plugins, however, arenāt quite here yet. When completed, youāll be able to ask Bing Chat to book you a table at your favorite restaurant on OpenTable, and complete complex math equations on Wolfram Alpha. Today, Bing will recommend restaurants, but it canāt negotiate the reservation.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is migrating Bingās chat features wholesale to mobile. You can add a Bing widget to your home screen, including the ability to simply tap a microphone icon to ask a question. (āHey Bingā is unfortunately not an option.)
Microsoft is also placing a small ābā icon on SwiftKey mobile keyboards. Tapping it will allow you to use AI to write whatever it is you wish to write. The same key will automatically translate content to and from foreign languages. Youāll see that same ābā icon when selecting a word in the mobile version of Edge, allowing you to query Bing Chat for follow-up information.
Perhaps just as importantly, Microsoft is now broadening queries and your chat history across the desktop and mobile. Between all of these small, incremental improvements, Microsoftās message is clear: Bing Chat is Microsoftās opportunity to wrest back some of the attention that users have given to Google for decades, and itās moving quickly to do so.
