Microsoft updates Bing search engine with new GPT-driven stories

Microsoft is adding GPT-driven features with every update. These Stories will allow users to 'consume bite-sized information' in several ways, while the Knowledge Cards have also been updated with AI interactives, according to Microsoft.

Stories will look like Stories on platforms like Instagram or Snapchat. They will come with a progress bar on top before moving on to the next slide. The stories will include text, images, video, and audio. The short video slide format is one of the most common ways to get and circulate information.

These Stories will be available in several languages, so that the tool can cater to a large audience, according to the company blog post. These Knowledge Cards appear on the right side of the Bing Search. These cards help users find information on topics that interest them via image-based timelines, polls, actions, and related topics.

Microsoft has fixed some issues for its Bing users, like making it easier to copy text from the Bing Mobile app on iOS, because the company has expanded the richness and breadth of knowledge cards supported by Bing using generative AI. The voice detection feature has been updated so that the messages don't get sent automatically before the user has finished speaking. It has now updated the Bing search queries that triggered a chat with the same query when the users scroll up.

Microsoft also announced an AI-image creator earlier this month. It is powered by an advanced version of the OpenAI DALL-E model.
