If Microsoft really wants to make it Edge-only all they have to do is bundle it as part of the browser (a sidebar, with access to your history and all the sites you visit of course) instead of making it a web app. Maybe the only reason this hasn't happened yet is that multi-department projects inside MS are hard?
Some people don't know Bing Chat is available in Skype, and almost everyone (over 30) has a Skype account already so that's a pretty low friction way to try it. Be aware though, that Bing Chat itself does not know that it's available in Skype and will refuse to continue the conversation if you insist that's how you're talking to it. Some people also don't know that on Android you can easily find & install the "Skype Lite" (for India, targeting low end devices) APK which is better than any other current version of Skype.
- r0uv3n 3y agoThere is in fact a sidebar in Edge dedicated to Bing Chat with features exclusive to it. E.g. it takes the current website into account as context and is thus a good way to get for example a whole pdf into the context window. It's also a nice way to do jailbreaks since it seems to trust the content of whatever website you're looking at more than your own input.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoIs it available in the Linux version of Skype?
- sanitycheck 3y agoIt is, yes.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoI'm shocked! I might have to install it in a VM and have a go.
- sanitycheck 3y agoIt almost is (i.e. snap/flatpak) in one already.
