To empower people to unlock the joy of discovery, feel the wonder of creation and better harness the world’s knowledge, today we’re improving how the world benefits from the web by reinventing the tools billions of people use every day, the search engine and the browser.
The new Bing is available today in a limited preview on desktop, and everyone can visit Bing.com today to try sample queries and sign up for the waitlist.
We’re excited to put the new Bing and Edge into the real world to get the critical feedback required to improve our models as we scale.

Bing’s GPT search results will provide official sources.
The new Bing gives you an improved version of the familiar search experience, providing more relevant results, along with a new sidebar that shows more comprehensive answers if you want them.
Examples:
- “Search for a comparison of Mexican Painters”
- “Find events in my city during the Super Bowl”
- “Will this Ikea furniture fit in a minivan”
- “Pros and Cons of the top three vacuums”
- “Provide egg substitutes, and how different substitutes will change a cake.”
Introducing Bing Chat - going beyond traditional search.
Providing a ChatGPT-like experience to traditional search results. It can also translate answers into 100 languages.
Examples:
- -Looking for recommendations for products to purchase
- -Create a travel itinerary for a trip to Mexico
- -Give me a meal plan for a family of four with vegetarian options and caters to people who don’t like nuts.”
- -Creating a grocery list based on that meal plan above”
A new interface with Fluent UI and integrated with the new Bing.
Two new functionalities: Chat and compose.
With the Edge Sidebar, you can ask for a summary of a lengthy financial report to get the key takeaways – and then use the chat function to ask for a comparison to a competing company’s financials and automatically put it in a table.
You can also ask Edge to help you compose content, such as a LinkedIn post, by giving it a few prompts to get you started. After that, you can ask it to help you update the tone, format and length of the post. Edge can understand the web page you’re on and adapts accordingly.
It can even look at a code snippet on Stack Overflow and rewrite the code in Rust!
