Recently, Microsoft acquired OpenAI and integrated their ChatGPT into the Bing search engine to provide more human conversational answers, rather than a list of links on a page that may or may not contain the correct information. Furthermore, you can also utilize Bing AI as a chatbot to receive answers in a human-like format. This approach not only enhances the user experience but also ensures that you receive more precise and relevant answers.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to use the new Bing AI on Windows 11, Linux, and macOS. However, to use Bing AI, you must have the Microsoft Edge browser installed on your system, or you can access it using the Bing search engine on any browser. Here, we’ve covered both the ways to use Bing AI with ChatGPT.
How to Access Bing AI with ChatGPT
Bing is the default search engine for the Microsoft Edge browser, so to access the full features of Bing AI, you need to install the Microsoft Edge browser on your system.
Microsoft Edge is not only the gateway to Bing AI but also a crucial part of the equation. Microsoft Edge is a web browser developed by Microsoft, renowned for its robust features and seamless integration with Microsoft’s suite of tools and services.
By using Microsoft Edge, you can access the full spectrum of capabilities that Bing AI has to offer.
Here’s how you can access Bing AI with ChatGPT:
1. Install Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is installed by default on the Windows operating system. However, if you are using Linux or macOS, you can download and install it from the official website. But if, for any reason, Microsoft Edge is not installed on your Windows system, then you can follow these steps to install it.
1. Open Microsoft Store.
2. Type Microsoft Edge on the search option and select it from the search results.
3. Click on the Install button to install it.
4. If the Edge browser is already installed then you can update Microsoft Edge to the latest version.
2. Login to Your Microsoft Account
Though you can access the Bing AI chatbot if you’re not logged in to a Microsoft account, you’ll be limited in terms of features. So, once you’ve installed Microsoft Edge, you can log in to your Microsoft account. If you don’t have one, you can create one using outlook.com, hotmail.com, or gmail.com.
Here’s how you can log in to your Microsoft account on the Edge browser:
1. Open the Microsoft Edge browser.
2. Visit bing.com and click on the Sign In option.
3. Now, login to your Microsoft Account or create one.
3. Change Edge Search Engine to Bing
If you’ve changed the search engine, then whatever you search using the Microsoft Edge browser will go through the selected search engine. To ensure that all searches go through Bing and that you can use Bing AI, you must make sure that the default search engine is set to Bing.
To change the search engine on Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:
1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Visit the Edge settings page or paste this into the address bar: edge://settings/profiles.
3. Click on the Privacy, search, and services tab and then select the Address bar and search option.
4. Now, look for the Search engine used in the address bar and from the drop-down menu, select Bing. That’s it! This will change your default search engine to Bing.
How to Use Bing AI With ChatGPT
Now, you’re all set to use Bing AI with ChatGPT. You just need to search your queries on Bing, or you can start a new chat with Bing. For that, follow these steps:
1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Visit bing.com or type the query you are looking for.
3. Here, click on Ask Bing Chat, click on the Chat tab, or click on the Bing logo.
Note
If you’re on the Bing search results page, you can directly click on the Chat tab or the Let’s Chat button.
4. As you open the chat, you’ll arrive at the chatbot page. By default, the conversation style for the chatbot will be set to Balanced. However, if you wish, you can change its tone to Creative and Precise. Depending on the mode you’ve selected, Bing AI will generate results accordingly.
5. Based on your input, it will generate a response, and it will also remember your previous searches. This allows you to ask follow-up questions without starting over, so you don’t need to restart your chat.
6. When it provides you with the response, it will also offer a reference to the source of the result and provide some follow-up questions.
7. If you want to start a new conversation, forgetting the previous session, you can click on New Topic and type your question. Now, Bing AI will provide results based on the new topic that you’ve asked for.
8. If you want to create or generate images by giving commands to Bing AI, you can use the Creative mode. Just describe the image you want to create, and Bing AI will generate it for you.
9. Additionally, you can install plugins to enhance the features of Bing AI. To do that, click on the Plugin tab on the right panel of the Bing Chat interface and look for the plugin you want to use with Bing AI.
That’s it. This is how you can use Bing AI, and you can accomplish many creative and productive tasks with it.

Microsoft Copilot is a new AI-powered feature that will be released with the Windows 11 23H2 update. However, the Copilot preview is available for all Windows 11 users running the latest version of it. If you are not getting Copilot for Microsoft Edge, then you can update it to the latest build and start exploring the preview build of Copilot.
