Microsoft has introduced a couple of new features in Bing chat preview including an additional option to set the tone for the chat. Here’s everything that’s new in the Bing chat preview:
Bing chat has added a new option that lets you choose the tone of the response. As per your need, you can choose any one of three available options – Precise, Creative and Balaned – each of which has a different color.
- Creative (Purple) gives responses that are longer and more descriptive.
- Balanced (Blue) is somewhere in-between Precise and Creative.
- Precise (Green) focuses on shorter, more search-focused answers.
Depending on the mode you select, you will see a color change in the UX.
“Our goal is to let you decide the type of chat behaviour that best meets your needs. We’ll continue to tune this experience based on feedback.” Microsoft wrote in a post.
Last week, Microsoft increased the chat turns per session to 6 and expanded to 60 total chats per day. Now, you will now see turn counters and stoplights at the bottom of each Bing response, which will let you know where you are in the conversation.
Other changes rolling out to Bing preview include:
- Page Context in Edge: For those using the Bing chat experience built into the Edge Dev channel for Windows, Bing was sometimes unable to recognize the context of the page you were browsing. This issue has been fixed for most scenarios, Microsoft said.
- Chat Behavior: Some chat behaviours that previously would have unnecessarily constrained responses or made them appear defensive or adversarial have also been fixed. Bing responses should be more engaging and provide more elaborate observations, according to a post on Microsoft Bing Blogs.
Microsft said that daily incremental improvements are being to the new Bing preview
