Once you get access to the ChatGPT version of the search engine, you can access it by going to the Bing homepage on Edge or any other browser. There will be a “Chat” option at the top of the page with images, videos, and maps. Click on the chat option to access the ChatGPT-powered AI chatbot.
Users can also try out some preset samples even if they don’t have access to ChatGPT. Go to bing.com/new on any browser and scroll down to the Ask anything section. Click on any of the blue boxes to select a sample question or task.
After that, you can select from other samples that appear to the right. There are also some creator prompts that you can select from the options displayed on the left of the ChatGPT interface. These options include writing code, script, letter, tweet, summary, poem, joke, blog post, and more.
How to use ChatGPT on Edge
Once you have received access to the ChatGPT on Bing, you can also use it directly on the Edge browser. However, this feature is currently only available on the dev build of Microsoft Edge. Fortunately, users can download the Beta, Dev, and Canary versions of the browser from the Microsoft Edge Insider Page.
The update will likely make its way to the beta version first and then finally be released on the global build. Until then, users can download the Dev Channel build to check out ChatGPT on Edge. Once you have downloaded the correct version of Edge, go to the Bing sidebar and select the Discover icon in the top right.
Users can then access Bing chat directly from the Discover tab and complete their tasks side by side. Microsoft has also showcased how the AI chatbot can be used on LinkedIn and other social media websites as a writing aid.
