How to Use Bing Chat on Skype
Bing Chat’s cross-platform availability gives it an edge over rival chatbots. Users typically access Bing Chat through the Bing website, Edge browser extension, or the Bing mobile app.
But little known to many, it’s also a Skype AI assistant. Here’s how you can enable Bing Chat on Skype, what tasks it does, and how to incorporate it into conversations.
How to Set Up Bing Chat on Skype
Bing Chat is already available on Skype for users worldwide. It won’t just suddenly appear in your inbox. You must add the Bing profile to your account first—the process should only take a few minutes.
Step 1: Search for the Bing Profile on Skype
Launch the mobile or desktop version of Skype. Type “Bing” in the search bar and look for the correct profile. Its display photo is the Bing logo. Add Bing to your Skype inbox. The app should pull up a welcome prompt confirming you want to enable Bing Chat on Skype—tap theTry Itbutton.
Step 2: Send Bing a Private Message
Wait for Skype to load your private chat with Bing. Type anything to start the conversation, or visit Bing’s profile for a brief introduction to its capabilities. Bing Chat retains all instructions for 20 turns, which is sadly lower thanChatGPT’s token limit.
You can manually reset Bing Chat’s contextual memory by typing “new topic”. And to shift between conversation styles, enter Creative, Balanced, or Precise.
Step 3: Add Bing to Your Skype Group Chats
Bing Chat also participates in group conversations. Click on the chat’s profile, scroll toAdd Participants, then type “Bing” in the search bar. Note that you must manually add and remove Bing. Bing won’t participate in conversations unless you mention it. Just add “@Bing” to your messages or tap the Bing logo on the right side of the screen.
Exploring the Use Cases of Bing Chat on Skype
Bing Chat on Skype runs onOpen-AI’s feature-packed language model: GPT-4. It’s a sophisticated system that composes lengthy essays, pulls real-time information, mimics human-like text, and adopts different writing styles.
The web app version of Bing Chat offers more functionality. But the Skype chatbot version also offers several professional and personal use cases.
1. Edit or Write Business Messages
Bing Chat helps you with difficult emails. Copy the sender’s message, state the gist of your response, then wait for the chatbot’s response. GPT-4 typically composes error-free text. You won’t have to worry about grammatical mistakes or typos, although you should double-check.
We also suggest rephrasing outputs to convey your message efficiently. Make sure they suit your tone. The person you’re talking to might feel offended if you copy-paste AI-generated text outright.
2. Answer General Questions
you may ask Bing Chat various general questions. It runs queries through its online search engine, enabling it to pull accurate real-time data. Alternatively, chatbots trained on limited datasets have knowledge cut-offs.
Bing Chat lists its sources at the end of every message. Make sure you visit them when fact-checking.
3. Solve Basic to Intermediate Math Questions
Bing Chat’s advanced language model and internet tethering help it answer math questions accurately. For instance, it solved the above probability question correctly. You’ll likely only encounter issues with confusing word problems and advanced math equations.
4. Help Plan Business Meetings and Trips
Plan business trips and meetings faster with Bing Chat. It can create a detailed schedule based on your travel group’s itinerary, size, destination, and budget. Provide enough context to generate appropriate suggestions.
5. Solve Work-Related Dilemmas
If you’re stuck in a work dilemma, turn to Bing Chat for help. AI can’t empathize with your situation, but it pulls objective, relevant advice from various online resources. Use these insights for a fresh perspective.
Enable Bing Chat on Skype
Enable Bing Chat if you already have Skype. You’ll find it helpful with daily tasks, like composing tough messages, solving word problems, and answering general knowledge questions. Treat it like your personal AI assistant on Skype.
While Bing Chat is a powerful generative AI tool, it also feels stiff and formal. The platform follows too many restrictions. For a more casual yet equally helpful tool, try Snapchat’s My AI. It runs on GPT-3.5, provides accurate location services, supports image prompting via Snaps, and pulls weather forecasts.
Snapchat’s My AI chatbot has some powerful features built in.
OneDrive is one of the best, but it has a catch.
So much time invested, and for what?
Every squeak is your PC’s way of crying for help.
The key is not to spook your friends with over-the-top shenanigans.
The fix was buried in one tiny toggle.
