Microsoft makes its generative AI tool more of a standalone experience — including its own web page, no Bing required.
In February, Microsoft entered the AI chatbot scene with the launch of Bing Chat, which has become a worthy rival to ChatGPT. Now, the company is giving Bing Chat a makeover that both increases its resemblance to ChatGPT and expands its capabilities.
On Wednesday, at Microsoft Ignite, the company announced that Bing Chat and Bing Chat for Enterprise will now be called Copilot.
In addition to changing the name, the shift makes Bing Chat more of a standalone experience — like ChatGPT — with its own standalone web page. Users can still access Copilot from Bing and Windows; however, the standalone site makes it more accessible to everyone since it can be accessed from any browser without relying on Bing.
