Microsoft integrates Bing Chat into SwiftKey Beta

Microsoft is letting the first testers get started with Bing Chat in Swiftkey. This ChatGPT based language bot is currently being slowly rolled out to a small group of testers.

Bing Chat in SwiftKey Beta

Microsoft is still at the forefront of the battle between Google and Microsoft for smart language bots. Microsoft already brought its ChatGPT language bot to the Bing search engine and Edge browser. Soon Skype, Microsoft Teams and Office programs such as Word, PowerPoint and Outlook will also be added. But first it’s the turn of the keyboard app Microsoft SwiftKey Beta. Microsoft CEO Pedram Rezaei reports this on Twitter.

The Bing Chat button immediately opens the Bing search engine. With that it can search. The button Show lets you rewrite texts with the help of AI in one of the following ways: professional, informal, polite and social post. Then there’s the button Chat and with that you can use ChatGPT’s smart answers. To do this, you must give the app access to your location. Logging in with your Microsoft account is also a requirement.

Now that Bing Chat is in SwiftKey Beta, you no longer need to have the Bing app or the Skype app installed on your mobile to use the language bot. You can use the language bot wherever there is an input field. It is not known when Bing Chat will come to the stable version of SwiftKey.

SwiftKey was acquired by Microsoft in 2016. ChatGPT was developed by the company OpenAI, in which Microsoft, among others, invests heavily. Google, with its competitor Bard, is lagging behind on integration in its apps and services, but that does mean fewer start-up problems. Do you use SwiftKey or another keyboard app?
