Today the Microsoft Build 2023 conference took place, focused on developers, but with a lot of interesting content for users.
Microsoft continues to integrate the artificial intelligence in all your software. Today has announced Windows 11 Copilot, ChatGPT and Bing Chat plugins, and the integration of Bing itself in ChatGPT.
Gossips say that Microsoft’s $20 billion investment in OpenAI is a covert acquisition, without having to go through the torture of antitrust commissions, as is happening with the purchase of Blizzard Activision.
Truth or lie, today’s announcement merges many of the aspects of Bing and ChatGPTuntil they are almost indistinguishable.
The truth is that for Microsoft, it is being a round business: 100 days after GPT integration in Bing, the mobile app has multiplied its downloads by 8and 500 million chats have been created, and 200 million AI-generated images.
AI comes to Windows 11
since a few months You can already use artificial intelligence in Windows, your Bing Chat through the Microsoft Edge browser. But today Microsoft goes one step further, announcing Copilot for Windows 11.
This Co-pilot is actually a customized version of ChatGPT integrated into the Windows desktopor in any system application:
He Co-pilot will be accessible from an icon on the taskbar of Windows 11, and it will be associated with the context in which we are using it.
We can ask you for help change certain Windows settings that we can’t findto clean the hard disk of useless files, or to locate a certain file.
But, like ChatGPT, it is also available for you to write us an email, summarize a text, or extract the most important information from a PDF.
Another example is asking what time it is in a certain country before sending an email, asking for a royalty-free image for the cover of your school work, etc.
He windows copilot will be available in the Preview version in Juneso it will not take long to reach users.
Bing and ChatGPT plugins
Another important novelty is the creation of a universal plugin platform, which will work across all Bing and OpenIA services. ChatGPT itself, Bing Chat, Windows Copilot, Microsoft 365 etc.
Developers will only have to create one plugin, and it will integrate with all of them. And what are these extensions for? Well stop add personalized information to artificial intelligence, and that I can give you advice with that information.
Microsoft has already confirmed OpenTable, Wolfram Alpha, Expedia, Instacart, Kayak, Klarna, Redfin, TripAdvisor and Zillow plugins. But there are dozens of companies working on their own:
For example, if you install the Expedia plugin, you will enjoy a virtual assistant on your travels that will tell you anecdotes about the places you visitor will recommend places to visit.
If you opt for the Zillow plugin, you will have an integrated real estate expert which will boost your Bing search with additional housing and market information.
It is a very efficient tool that will further empower the artificial intelligence of Microsoft and OpenAI.
Bing integrated into ChatGPT
The third important novelty is that the Bing search engine will be integrated into ChatGPTthereby reducing the differences with bingchat.
This will be done, precisely, with one of the aforementioned plugins. If the user installs it in ChatGPT, You will be able to access searches and integrate updated information and data that can be found by search engine, no need to wait for a new version of GPT.
As we can see, these are very important developments for both Microsoft and OpenAI.
The new Windows 11 Copilotthe universal plugins for Bing Chat, the aforementioned co-pilot and ChatGPT, as well as the integration of the Bing search engine within ChatGPTThey make two things clear. OpenAI is increasingly integrated into Microsoft… And Google falls far behind again. We’ll see if it’s responsive…
