A few weeks ago, Microsoft started testing a new feature it added to Bing Chat with a small percentage of its user base. The new feature added image recognition to the chatbot, allowing users to receive information about the image when they sent a text prompt. Now this feature is available to everyone.Image search has arrived on Bing
As part of Microsoft Inspire 2023, the company announced that the feature, now called Image Search, is available to all Bing Chat users. Leveraging OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, Image Search in Bing Chat allows anyone to upload images and search the web for relevant content. This feature also applies to mobile users.
With the new feature, you can take a picture or use a picture you found elsewhere and ask Bing to tell you about it; Bing can understand and interpret the context of the image and answer questions about that image. An example of a use case would be: You’re hungry, but you can’t decide how to cook. You can take a photo of the food in your fridge and ask Bing for meal ideas. Or you can upload a website design that you have scribbled in your notebook to Bing and ask it to generate the relevant HTML codes.Microsoft is currently conducting various tests so that Bing Chat can be used in browsers other than Edge, such as Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Apart from this, the software giant is also working on a number of features such as remembering previous chats, voicing chats and fixing replies.
