You can waitlist here, and Microsoft says you'll get higher priority if you sign in with your Microsoft account, set the Microsoft defaults on your PC, and download the Bing app. According to an FAQ, you'll receive an email once you've progressed through the waitlist and can access the new chat experience.

The company plans to roll out access to millions of people in the coming weeks and launch a mobile version of the experience. In a blog post about the rollout, Microsoft says it's "excited to bring the new Bing and Edge to the real world to get the critical feedback needed to improve our models at scale."

The waitlist page shows some examples of what you can use the tool for, e.g. For example, have them make a three-course vegetarian meal for six with chocolate dessert, or find a six-seat four-wheel-drive car with a 0-60 time of less than six seconds.

To enable Bing's AI-powered features, Microsoft is partnering with OpenAI, the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot. However, Microsoft claims to use a "next generation OpenAI language model" that is even "more powerful than ChatGPT".

With the new Bing, users can enter queries of up to 1,000 words and receive annotated AI-generated responses that appear alongside regular web search results. Microsoft is also adding a way to narrow down these results with a new chatbot built into Bing.

The company made the announcement as part of its surprise press event on Tuesday, where it also revealed news about an AI-powered "web copilot" appearing in Microsoft Edge. The tool can perform various tasks while you're using your browser, such as summarizing a PDF you're viewing, generating code, and even creating a social media post.

Microsoft broke the news just a day after Google announced it was working on a similar AI-powered tool called Bard. The two companies are currently in a fierce battle over the future of AI, and this is probably just the beginning.
