Microsoft is celebrating an important milestone for its Bing search engine, which has always been somewhat in the shadow of Google. The software giant has announced that its search engine has reached 100 million daily active users. The integration of ChatGPT technology helped him significantly.

"I am pleased to share that after several years of continuous progress and with the support of over a million users of the new preview version of the Bing search engine, we have surpassed 100 million daily active Bing users," he said in his blog contribution Microsoft corporate vice president and consumer marketing director Yusuf Mehdi. The announcement comes just a month after the launch of a new preview of the search engine (and with it the Edge browser), which brought the integration of the chatbot ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI. Preview is available on computers and phones with Androidem and iOS through a mobile application and allows users to send a series of questions in the form of a chat. The Edge sidebar now provides quick access to the chatbot and new AI-related tools.

Mehdi added that of the more than a million users who have signed up for the new Bing preview, one-third are new, meaning Microsoft is finally reaching people who may not have considered using Bing before. However, Bing still lags significantly behind Google's search engine, which is used by a billion users every day.

Of course, the new preview of Bing is not perfect and some users managed to "break" the chatbot. However, Microsoft has since introduced limits on chats and slowly started increasing them. To improve the chatbot's responses, he introduced three different response modes to the chatbot - creative, accurate and balanced.

You can also try the ChatGPT technology separately, on the site chatopenai.com. All you have to do is register and then ask the chatbot anything you can think of on your computer or mobile. And believe it or not, he can also speak Czech.
