I ought to begin by saying the leaks had been correct illustration of this however the demos had been way more spectacular. Microsoft posted its personal weblog submit over right here and my Search Engine Land protection is right here.
I’ll say, that is way more spectacular and thought out than what Google rushed out with Bard on Monday. However Satya Nadella did say Microsoft has been engaged on this for some time, not simply the AI and language fashions but in addition the way to construct it into search as an assistant, as an “clever agent” as he put it.
Microsoft confirmed how one can not solely get depraved sensible solutions, that you just’d anticipate from ChatGPT but in addition how the consumer expertise in search works easily with it. The best aspect panel that reveals you not simply the solutions, but in addition the attribution and different methods to broaden on these solutions. You too can toggle from search to your chat assistant, and the chat function will simply decide up from search and visa versa. It simply works collectively, at the very least within the demo.
I’ll have full entry to it quickly however it’s also possible to request entry at bing.com/new.
