Several users have managed to get on the waitlist and tried the new technology, and it’s safe to say that there is still room for improvement. Some got accidentally kicked out of Bing’s waitlist and some, like this Twitter user, even got into a peculiarly weird argument over the day’s date, on top of being called a bad user.   Odd enough? Well, the launch itself was met with a pinch of salt, though. Some potential users voice their concerns about the new technology and how it tackles issues and privacy and deals with harmful content. Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby pic.twitter.com/X32vopXxQG — Jon Uleis (@MovingToTheSun) February 13, 2023

What can the new AI-powered Bing do?

In addition to the AI integration into its Bing search engine, Microsoft said that its Edge browser will see a massive chunk of updates. The new update allows you to perform complex searches in unique commands, starting from the sidebar where all the AI functions are built and an option called Chat Mode.   When typing a search/a command in the toolbar, you can do a complex search and make refinements. It can even create stories, poems, or ideas for a project in a ChatGPT-like experience. 

Can I download the new Bing?

The short answer is no, you can not download the full experience just yet, since it’s still in its limited, early phase, and it’s only launched on desktop in a limited preview. The mobile version is yet to be announced.  Still, there are a few workarounds you can keep in mind. 

Enjoy the limited desktop experience and join the waitlist

If you don’t have access to the new Bing, you will meet this screen when you get to the homepage.  Simply click on Join the waitlist and log into your Microsoft account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one.  After logging in, it will redirect you to either add a Bing extension (if you use Google Chrome) or download the mobile Microsoft Bing App for Android and Apple.  On the other hand, Google launched its very own answer to OpenAI’s ChatGPT called Bard. The AI chatbot itself is still being tested in a few select users and will likely be released in the coming weeks. By incorporating Google’s Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA), Bard could simplify complex topics and bring a unique search experience.  Are you excited about the world’s first AI-powered search engine experience?
