Microsoft Introduces Bing Chat in Edge Sidebar – Tech Tip For August 22, 2023

Microsoft has been pushing the boundaries of innovation, and its latest addition to the Edge browser is a testament to that. The New Bing AI chatbot sidebar on Edge is set to revolutionize your browsing experience and boost efficiency and productivity levels.

The New Bing, initially only available on the Bing webpage, can now be accessed directly from any page across the web, thanks to a shortcut button on the Edge toolbar. Here’s what it can do for you:

Summarize Information

No need to read through an entire page of a website to get that one nugget of information you were looking for. In the chat, you can ask the New Bing to summarize a page or ask a specific question, like “What ingredients do I need for this recipe?” Ask questions in natural language, and the New Bing will provide concise summaries of complex content, saving you time and enhancing your understanding.

Compare Items

The New Bing sidebar can also compare items across different web pages. Whether you’re comparing product specifications or prices, this function can help you make informed decisions faster and more effectively.

Organize Your Web Sessions

Chat can also help you better manage your web sessions. You can ask it to group your tabs by a specific category, retrieve passwords, and more. These prompts can help you cut valuable time from your web sessions.

Integrating the Bing AI chatbot into the Microsoft Edge sidebar is a significant development that promises to enhance productivity and efficiency. By offering intelligent assistance directly within the browser interface, Microsoft is paving the way for users to harness the power of AI like never before.
