Explore the web through ChatGPT and it’s integration of Bing Search

Good news for ChatGPT Plus users! We’re excited to announce that our favorite chatbot now has internet access. You can explore the vast world of information without having to leave the ChatGPT window. However, here’s the catch: it will exclusively work with the Bing search engine.

Bing however, is well-known for its rich search results and goes head-to-head with other leading search engines. It provides an abundance of additional information, often surpassing its competitors. What’s more, Bing offers unique features like personalized notifications on your homepage for topics you care about, and a rewarding system where you can earn points for using Bing, which can be redeemed for various benefits.

The integration of Bing into ChatGPT Plus is particularly valuable when it comes to queries about current events or any information beyond the AI’s original training data (leading up to September 2021). Before this feature, users seeking up-to-date information might have found the responses less helpful. However, we understand that some may see this decision as business-oriented, considering OpenAI’s close partnership with Microsoft.

In addition, users can now simply tap on a search result and instantly jump to the relevant part of the conversation. This enhances the overall user experience and transforms ChatGPT into an even more helpful assistant, especially for research purposes.

With the powerful combination of Bing’s robust search capabilities and unique features, the value of ChatGPT Plus is greatly enhanced. This exciting advancement empowers users to leverage the power of AI and the internet simultaneously, making the pursuit of knowledge more accessible and efficient than ever before. Get ready to explore and discover with ChatGPT Plus!

Will Google be next?

There’s no plan at the moment to include the Google search engine into the capabilities of ChatGPT. We may however experience the integration of the leading search engine through a plugin or extension of some sort.

Besides that, at Microsoft Build 2023, corporate VP Yusuf Mehdi announced Bing as ChatGPT’s default for web browsing.

An official integration is less likely to happen considering Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI. Still, let’s not forget about Google’s AI projects in this sphere – Bard AI and the highly awaited GPT-4 competitor: Gemini , the later offering promises for a multimodal generative AI.

Who can access Bing from ChatGPT?

Starting today, ChatGPT Plus subscribers can enjoy the power of Bing-powered responses within ChatGPT. It’s an exciting addition that enhances your experience and brings you even more accurate and comprehensive information.

But wait, there’s more! Even if you’re not a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, you can still access this feature as a plugin, in a little while. That means whether you’re a subscriber or not, Bing will be an integral part of your ChatGPT experience. So get ready to embrace the best of ChatGPT and Bing Search!
